The Digital Deluxe version of Sonic X Shadow Generations now includes a new extra that allows players to take on the role of Keanu Reeves' Shadow. On 25th October, Sonic Generations, the 2010 anniversary title, will be released in an updated version that offers more features than just improved graphics. Sonic X Shadow Generations also features a new story campaign centered around Shadow, in which the edgy black hedgehog must use amazing new Doom powers to face characters from his own troubled past.

Significant releases like Sonic X Shadow Generations typically come with pre-order bonuses, and Sega has already shown off a ton of different character skins for customers who purchase the game before it launches next month. Sonic's appearance from the original Sonic Adventure served as the basis for the first of these versions, which were then based on the disastrous Sonic Jam, an alternate Shadow skin named after "Terios," a prototype Ultimate Life Form that was intended for Sonic Adventure 2 but was never finished, and Shadow's final design.

Sega said that owners of the Sonic X Shadow Generations Digital Deluxe edition would have access to an additional playable version of Shadow, which is based on his impending big-screen debut, during the Sony State of Play livestream on 24th September. A week or so before the movie's debut, on 12th December, Sonic the Hedgehog 3 Movie Pack will be live. It comes with a Shadow skin and a movie-themed special level. The DLC will also feature Keanu Reeves' voice, which you can hear while the hedgehog runs from G.U.N. forces across a pitch-black city.

Movie Shadow Is Included In The Digital Deluxe Edition Of Sonic X Shadow Generations.

Sega's Year of Shadow promotion, which ran through 2024 and featured a ton of games, media, and events based around Sonic's antihero doppelganger, would culminate with Keanu Reeves's portrayal of Sonic the Hedgehog 3. In the film, which is based on Shadow's introduction in Sonic Adventure 2, Sonic and his companions team up with Dr. Robotnik to prevent the end of the planet when the dark hedgehog awakens and demonstrates that he is a formidable opponent for his braver blue counterpart.

Before he was officially hired earlier this year, Keanu Reeves was a fan favorite for his voice work on the live-action Shadow the Hedgehog. Now, in the upcoming Sonic X Shadow Generations, gamers will be able to take control of his Ultimate Life Form as part of the game's Digital Deluxe edition. The Digital Deluxe versions of Sonic the Hedgehog 3 will also include the Movie Pack, allowing players to enjoy the game three days early next month.
