In October, SEGA will send that fierce mix of nostalgia and adrenaline straight to your console with the release of Sonic x Shadow Generationsand things are heavy! And the cherry on the cake? The soundtrack that has just been revealed in the third and final video of the series.

And, hey, I'm warning you now: when the remix of Chaos Island: Act 1 start playing, it will be hard to resist the urge to put your finger on the boost and tear up the dance floor with Shadow. The original track, which was already a treasure in the franchise's sound catalog, has now been remixed by none other than UBI. If you haven't noticed, he's known for turning good songs into real sonic explosions. So, put on your headphones and check out this remix now, because it's so epic it's “RPG final boss” level.

Shadow is the man!

Now, let's talk about Shadow. He's always been that character who carries a dark energy, full of attitude, kind of an anti-hero… in short, the guy who arrives at the party and everyone stops to look. We'll definitely see him back in Sonic x Shadow Generations will be a gift for older fans. But not only for that. SEGA gave it a visual makeover with that touch inspired by Chaos Islandand man, he's sharper than ever.

This nostalgia will come heavy not only in Shadow's visuals, but also in the gameplay. Have you ever felt the rush of controlling Sonic at top speed, right? Now, imagine that with Shadow, with all the skills and attacks that made him a legend in the days of Sonic Adventure 2. You can expect lots of frantic action, precise jumps and that challenge that only SEGA knows how to deliver.

Championship-worthy gameplay

In addition, this game will come with some updated mechanics. I know, you're thinking: “Ah, but Sonic is already fast, does he need more?” But SEGA is giving it that special treatment, bringing combat systems and abilities that will make you feel like you're playing a Devil May Cry in the Sonic universe. The truth is that Shadow will shine in these mechanics, with stylish combos, precise jumps and that way of his always looking like the most badass in the area.

Prepare your wallet, but come with a bonus!

Now, I know you're eager to get your hands on this game. Sonic x Shadow Generations will be released digitally and physically on the day October 25, 2024with prices starting at R$219.90 (a bit pricey, but hey, it's Sonic and Shadow, man!). And like any good pre-sale worth its salt, there are those treats for those who can't wait until the launch.

If you are quick and buy the Day One Edition physics, will take with him the famous diary of Gerald Robotnik. For those who aren't familiar with Shadow's lore, Gerald was the scientist who created Shadow and Ark Space Stationand man, this 28-page diary promises exclusive details on the creation of the most ferocious hedgehog in gaming. This is a collector's item, there's no denying it.

Oh, and the legacy skin for Modern Sonicbased on the look of Sonic Adventureis also in the pre-sale package. The invitation to nostalgia is there, right?

The legacy that has been running for years

Now, speaking of the game's story, for those who haven't followed the franchise since forever, Sonic and Shadow have a classic rivalry, which started way back in Sonic Adventure 2. Shadow was introduced as a villain, but he is the kind of guy who has more layers than he seems at first glance. Over time, he won the hearts of fans, becoming an antihero who steals the scene wherever he appears. In Sonic x Shadow Generationsthe two will collide once again, but this time with more intensity, current graphics and that feeling of “wow, I went back in time, but with everything much more beautiful”.

And what to expect from the future?

If there's one thing SEGA knows how to do, it's keep the hype going. People are already looking forward to this release, and SEGA isn't holding back on marketing. In addition to bringing back the legendary rivalry between Sonic and Shadow, they're adding some modern touches that will interest even those who've never played the game. And if you're like me, it'll be hard not to compare the controls to the classic Mega Drive and the golden age of the Dreamcast. But let's be honest: this evolution is necessary and, man, it's amazing to see how Sonic and Shadow remain relevant so many years later.

If you haven't pre-ordered yet, check out the official website and get these skins now, because you know how it is: when it comes to Sonic, it's quick to control and quick to buy too.
