Today, SEGA announced its latest campaign Fearless: Year of Shadow to celebrate the amazing fans of Sonic and Shadow. Last year, SEGA launched the Fast. Friends. Forever program, which highlighted the special bond that Sonic and friends Tails, Knuckles, and Amy Rose share with their fans. 

Proceed without fear. Fearless: Year of Shadow, begins.

This year the focus shifts to everyone’s favorite brooding hedgehog, Shadow, who is set to star in the upcoming video game, SONIC X SHADOW GENERATIONS, as well as the highly anticipated movie, “Sonic the Hedgehog 3”, later this year. The campaign celebrates what it means to be Fearless and embracing your inner Shadow by bravely facing challenges head on. 

To kick off the campaignSEGA created a bold launch trailer featuring original music that celebrates Shadow and the fearlessness of Sonic and Shadow fans. Take a look at the trailer below!

Everyone faces their own struggles, but if Shadow has taught us anything, it’s that no matter what challenges life throws your way, you have the power to control your own path. Stay fearless!
