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. While the game includes a remaster of 2011's Sonic Generations, the main draw for many is Shadow the Hedgehog's solo campaign. 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.
Three days before the game's official launch, Sonic X Shadow Generations had an early access period for those who purchased the game's Digital Deluxe Edition. The reception to the remaster has been incredibly positive, with many dubbing it one of the best games in the franchise. Particular praise is being given for the title's focus on Shadow the Hedgehog and its gameplay, building upon the open-zone format found in Sonic Frontiers. Countless fans have been moved by Shadow's story, as it features tons of call-backs...
