Sonic x Shadow Generations locks in an October launch date – Destructoid

While we’ve known what Sonic X Shadow Generations is for a while, the game’s release date has been up in the air for ages. Now, thanks to Summer Game Fest 2024, we’ve got a brand new trailer and a firm release date for later this year.

The latest trailer ends with a confirmation that Sonic X Shadow Generations will be released on October 25, 2024. However, anyone who pre-orders the Deluxe Edition of the game can get it three days early on October 22, 2024. This means you can enjoy all that extra time with Modern Sonic, Classic Sonic, and Shadow before everyone else jumps in. Of course, the real draw of that edition is the extra skins you can dress the characters up in.

Sonic X Shadow Generations arrives this October and offers pre-order bonuses for eager fans

The release date trailer for Sonic X Shadow Generations can be found at roughly the 2-hour mark in the Summer Game Fest 2024 video above. It shows off a decent chunk of gameplay, with all three hedgehogs launching themselves around various maps across multiple perspectives. The difference between them all should make it easy to smash through level after level without feeling fatigued.

Anyone who pre-orders the game will receive the Sonic Adventure Legacy Skin for Modern Sonic, and the Gerald Robotnik’s Journal Detailing Shadow’s Creation, though it’s unclear if this second item is a physical product or digital.

Those who pre-order the Deluxe Edition can get the Sonic Adventure Legacy Skin for Modern Sonic, plus an additional level and skin, the Terios Skin, for Shadow, both of which don’t launch until Holiday 2024. This edition also packs in extra skill points, a BGM Pack, and a Digital Art Book and OST for fans like me who enjoy staring at concept art while listening to the sounds of our favorite games.
