Sonic x Shadow Generations release date set for October

June 6: While we’re still waiting on the official announcement from SEGA, the release date for Sonic x Shadow Generations appears to be imminent. New leaks point to the game launching on October 25, 2024. On the record, it’s due out on Switch later in 2024.

Well-known leaker billbil-kun put out the claim on social media. That was followed up with another leak from MysteryLupin, who not only posted the boxart – see above – but also a new set of screenshots. The packaging image seems to reveal that copies include Gerald Robotnik’s journal covering Shadow’s creation and a Sonic Adventure legacy skin.

SEGA could be sharing the release date for Sonic x Shadow Generations during the Summer Game Fest presentation tomorrow. When the news is made official, we’ll update this post.

Here’s some information about the game:

Players will witness Shadow’s dark origins and explore an all-new hub world inspired by the open-zone gameplay of Sonic Frontiers by gaining new powers and uncovering hidden secrets throughout the area.

Sonic Generations also receives a graphical upgrade and remains a greatest-hits collection for Sonic fans, old and new, combining nostalgic 3D and 2D versions of Sonic stages from throughout the generations with upgraded visuals and cinematics. You can also enjoy new collectibles, bonus content, and more, including a Chao rescue mission in every level and the return of high-energy pinball gameplay in the Casino Nights Zone.
