Today, as part of PlayStation’s State of Play broadcast, SEGA revealed the SONIC X SHADOW GENERATIONS: Sonic the Hedgehog 3 Movie Pack, which will be included in the game’s Digital Deluxe edition!
On December 12, all SONIC X SHADOW GENERATIONS Digital Deluxe owners can play as Shadow and experience a new level inspired by the Sonic the Hedgehog 3 movie, featuring the voice of Keanu Reeves!
In an interview with the PlayStation Blog, Shun Nakamura shared that while the inclusion of the movie version of Shadow wasn’t part of the initial plan, the timing of the movie and game releases allowed for this exciting collaboration. Though the DLC content isn’t tied to the movie’s plot, it draws inspiration from Tokyo, which appears in the film. Nakamura explained that the development team went to great lengths to research Tokyo’s streets, bringing authenticity to the level design.
One of the biggest surprises? The developers had limited access to movie content due to secrecy around Keanu Reeves’ role as Shadow, only learning about his involvement after the public announcement!
This thrilling DLC is set to make 2024 a standout year for both Sonic and Shadow fans alike, celebrating the “Year of Shadow“ with content that bridges the movie and gaming worlds.
Check out the reveal trailer from PlayStation’s State of Play broadcast and screenshots below!
