Engage in epic battles with SHADOW GENERATIONS’s action-oriented gameplay
Play as Shadow in a brand-new story campaign set in a mysterious world. His Chaos Control, Chaos Spear, and new Doom Powers will make for an action-packed experience unlike anything you’ve ever experienced as Sonic.
・SHADOW GENERATIONS Story
Black Doom—Shadow’s nemesis—has reemerged.
When a disturbing omen stirs Shadow’s memories, he must relive his past and his journey to the Space Colony ARK. What awaits him is a sinister threat that only he can stop.
・About Shadow the Hedgehog
At first glance, Shadow looks like a grim version of Sonic. In fact, he is the “ultimate life form” created by Prof. Gerald Robotnik. A chilling premonition compels Shadow to head to the ARK, where he finds his worst nightmare has come true.
・Chaos Control
SHADOW GENERATIONS will feature Shadow’s signature Chaos Control ability.
Under certain situations, you can activate a high-speed move that lets you take previously impossible paths. Use it to stop time around you, escape from danger, or discover hidden routes!
・Chaos Spear
One of Shadow’s signature moves. When performing it, Shadow throws a powerful spear-like bolt of energy that can stop and neutralize enemy attack or activate mechanisms.
・Doom Powers
Shadow can harness Doom Powers, a new set of abilities to battle hordes of enemies, surf on water, and fly over obstacles.
・Space Colony ARK
A stage with unique gravitational pulls, elaborate grind rail layouts, and missile turrets. An even more engaging experience is waiting for you at this familiar stage that originated from Sonic Adventure 2 and Shadow the Hedgehog!
・Challenge powerful enemies from the Sonic series!
Tap into Shadow’s unique abilities to take out powerful and iconic enemies from past series.
Biolizard
A boss Shadow once faced in Sonic Adventure 2. Now, it’s back and even stronger than ever. The Biolizard can sprout two gigantic bioorganic arms to pummel you! Use Chaos Spear to defend against the Biolizard’s attacks!
Enjoy the best of both worlds in SONIC GENERATIONS
Get ready for an epic time-traveling adventure as Classic Sonic and Modern Sonic race and spin dash their way through 2D and 3D versions of iconic stages from their shared history.
・SONIC GENERATIONS Story
Sonic’s birthday and universe is thrown into chaos when a mysterious new power reveals itself, creating wormholes which send Sonic and his friends hurtling across time and space.
After arriving in a colorless landscape, he encounters some familiar faces from the past—including a younger version of himself. Together, these two Sonics must restore the timeline, save their friends, and defeat their enemies!
・Modern Sonic
The cool and stylish Sonic has been rocking the look in 3D titles since Sonic Adventure.
As Modern Sonic, you’ll have all kinds of moves at your disposal. With his Homing Attack and Boost, take on exhilarating levels that blend 2D scrolling with 3D movement!
・Classic Sonic
The Sonic who embodies a cool yet cute charm continues to thrive in its 2D style since the first installment of the Sonic series.
As Classic Sonic, you’ll run, jump, and roll your way through a variety of 2D side-scrolling levels across the series’ history, now with updated visuals and reworked cinematics! Use his speed to overcome any platforming challenge that comes your way!
・Face off against the Time Eater, a creature that consumes space and time
A mysterious black creature that scatters Sonic and his friends across space and time. Classic and Modern Sonic must defeat it in order to restore the timeline and rescue everyone!
Time Eater
Whenever the Time Eater takes flight, it leaves behind time holes that let it travel across space and time.
These rifts tear apart the very fabric of space and time, draining worlds of their color and energy in the process. Just what is the Time Eater after?
・Revisit Sonic’s most iconic stage, Green Hill Zone
The first stage of the original 2D-style Sonic the Hedgehog has been faithfully recreated with cutting-edge graphics. Experience a fresh take on one of gaming’s most memorable levels, with a more vibrant and high-level visual performance!
