Summary
Sonic Generations returns on modern consoles later this year, but there’s a twist. DubbedSonic x Shadow Generations, not only will the remaster be a polished version of the original game, but it will include additional Shadow content. An unfamiliar focus on Shadow the Hedgehog throughout 2024, likely because he will make his cinematic debut this December, and that focus has extended to the Sonic x Shadow Generations collector’s edition.
It wasn’t clear whether Sonic x Shadow Generations would be getting a collector’s edition when pre-orders went live, butSegahas now confirmed there will be and what you can find inside. Included in the collector’s edition is a Shadow figure, shoe keychain, and a physical copy of the game’s artbook. The collector’s edition also includes a copy of the game. That might seem obvious to some, but not including the game in collector’s editions is becoming pretty common.
The best thing about Sonic x Shadow Generations' collector’s edition is the price. Most collector’s editions that include a figure tend to cost more than $100, usually closer to $200, and sometimes even more than that for the more impressive ones. This one is currently available to pre-order at Play-Asia through the link in the box below for just $81.99. That’s only $32 more than the standard edition of the game which has been priced at $50.
Sonic X Shadow Generations
WHERE TO PLAY
Sonic X Shadow Generations is a double package of a remastered version of the 2011 title Sonic Generations, alongside an all-new campaign featuring Shadow the Hedgehog and both 2D and 3D levels.
The collector’s edition is available onPS5andNintendo Switch, and don’t worry about the Japanese writing in the store listing images. Even though it will presumably be a Japanese copy of the game, it will be compatible with any consoles and you won’t have to learn Japanese to play it. You can simply select English when asked. It might mean the collector’s edition is a Japan-exclusive though, so Play-Asia could be the only site through which it’s available in the US.
Sega has really been pushing Shadow lately in an attempt to make sure as many Sonic fans are aware of him before the release of Sonic x Shadow Generations, and then when Sonic the Hedgehog 3 hits cinemas two months later. The brooding hedgehog now has his own Nendoroid, and Sega also rolled out a new Sakura range that includes items featuring Shadow and Amy.
