Earlier this year, Sega made an exciting announcement for Sonic the Hedgehog fans: a new game titled Sonic X Shadow Generations. This game is expected to hit the Nintendo Switch and several other gaming platforms this autumn. Although Sega has not yet confirmed a specific release date, recent leaks and reports suggest that Sonic enthusiasts can look forward to playing the game by late October.
Sonic X Shadow Generations is described as a remastered version of the original Sonic game but comes with an entirely new campaign. The excitement around this announcement has been building, especially after the revelations made by the online leaker known as 'billbil-kun' from Dealabs. According to their information, the game is targeting an October 25, 2024 release, with a universal price tag of $49.99 for the physical edition across all platforms, including the Nintendo Switch, PS5, and Xbox series.
Following the initial leak, additional details continued to emerge. Another leaker who goes by the handle 'MysteryLupin' released several intriguing images on Twitter. These included what appears to be the game’s box art, character skins, and a series of new screenshots that showcase what players can expect. Alongside the images, the tweet teasingly added, “plus d'images ? plus d'images !” hinting that even more revelations might be on the way.
The excitement doesn't stop there. Another report came from a leaker named 'Midori', who indicated that Sega is in the midst of finalizing the Nintendo Switch version of Sonic X Shadow Generations for submission. A game rating was also spotted in South Korea earlier this April, adding more credibility to these leaks.
The timing of these leaks coincides with the Summer Game Fest, which begins this week. This event could potentially be a platform for Sega to confirm these details officially and maybe reveal even more about what’s in store for this highly anticipated game.
