Sega announced earlier this year Sonic X Shadow Generations would be coming to the Switch and multiple other platforms this Autumn, so when exactly can we expect it?
Although a specific date hasn't been confirmed yet, according to 'billbil-kun' of Dealabs, this remaster featuring a brand new story campaign is currently targeting an October release, with the price for the physical edition expected to be $49 USD across all platforms (including the Switch).
"Following new information we have just obtained, we confirm that the release date for Sonic X Shadow Generations is now set for October 25, 2024. In addition, the price of the physical edition of the game on PS5, Xbox One/Series X and Switch will be set at 49.99 US dollars."
The following images have also been shared alongside this information by 'MysteryLupin' on social media - showing a box art, Robotnik journal, Sonic Adventure legacy skin, and some new screenshots:
This follows on from leaker 'Midori' recently claiming "Sega is in the process of submitting the Nintendo Switch version of Sonic x Shadow Generations". A rating for the game was also spotted in South Korea in April of this year.
Summer Game Fest starts this week, so we might not have to wait too long to find out more about Sonic X Shadow Generations.
What do you make of this? Let us know in the comments.

a real leak with actual evidence? Unheard of!
$50 for Sonic and Shadow fanfiction? Ballsy move, Sega S. Corporation.
That skin doesn’t really look anything like the Dreamcast Adventure model. Might just be the pic but it looks too angular while also not looking fuzzy enough. I liked how the original Adventure had him looking furry, Sonic became a weird plastic model in the 00s.
Fake, where all the paid dlc
@Tayrailbridge Likely during Summer Gamefest than the Nintendo Direct. Sonic Superstars was revealed during Summer Gamefest last year I believe.
@nessisonett Even I know Sonic's character model didn't look that angular. The eyes look alright tho. I don't know when exactly they made him plastic-y, lookin'.
It's also why I prefer the Dreamcast version of Sonic Adventure rather than Sonic Adventure DX. I thought the character models, except Big & Gamma, were...weird so to say. Big & Gamma looked waaaaay too slicky & shiny.
Hm...they're pricing this at $50? Honestly, I think it should be $40 at most.
Granted it's not THAT bad compared to the atrocious $60 price tag that Sonic Superstars had at launch but that was what hurt that game the most imo.
I promise to myself that i wouldn't buy another Sonic game ever again...but I broke that once I bought SuperStars at $30...
Welp...not this time...
@Tayrailbridge On one hand, it isn't as if Nintendo's own ad showcase is any less of an ad showcase than the ad showcase that's going to play tomorrow. Ad showcase.
On the other, I get it because while I don't hate SGFs (usually), I'm more interested in what Nintendo Directs have to show (usually).
I need to get this game physical! The cover looks so nice! I cannot wait for this game, generations was is amazing and sadly when I played it I had to play it using streaming and the input lag was abysmal, so I really can’t wait to actually get to truly enjoy this game!
Having a "Sonic Adventure" skin is pretty neat, even if the model itself doesn’t really look that much like the Dreamcast model imo.
@DanijoEX-the-Pierrot if you havent played gens, i think its worth a go. Or at least wait for some sort of ludicrous sale, if thats what floats your boat. i cant speak towards the shadow content yet, but base gens is such a solid experience that id say every platforming enthusiast should have it on their radar. For reference, i didnt really care for superstars either, though ive come to peace with it. Gens ended up being the game for me that really cemented my love for the sonic franchise, while mania planted the seeds. Probably one of my most played games of all time
@Coolmusic
Textures might be remade, it appears it’s largely using a lot of the original geometry but the modern shading and lighting makes it look different like how it exposes the sharp blocky shape of the shoes compared to the simple smooth shading on Dreamcast making it less obvious in angles like that.
@DanijoEX-the-Pierrot DX in general is sort of wonky. I had a Cube but only recently played the Dreamcast version which I found better in almost every respect!
@Tayrailbridge i hope so; i really wanna see switch footage so i know what platform im picking it up on
THIS will be the good one. Super totally sure about it.
Nice appetizer before the next official announcement(s) for this game which most likely should be coming pretty soon as mentioned also by the article!
