Sonic X Shadow Generations just launched but is already a huge hit, with the game managing to sell a million units on release day. The success of Sonic X Shadow Generations isn't too surprising for Sonic fans, as it has been one of the most eagerly anticipated of 2024.

Not only is Sonic's anti-hero rival put into the spotlight since his last playable appearance in 2017's Sonic Forces, but the character's story and unique powers are the main reason why so many fans have been excited about this updated re-release.

Countless fans have been moved by Shadow's story, as it features tons of call-backs...
