In preparation for Sonic X Shadow Generations' release later this Autumn, Sega has announced an animated prequel short starring Shadow the Hedgehog will premiere later this Summer. The upcoming Sonic X Shadow Generations is an updated re-release of the 2011 title, not only upgrading the original game with 60 FPS and HD graphics, but also featuring Shadow as a playable character for the first time since 2017's Sonic Forces. The remaster will also add on an additional story campaign taking place from Shadow's perspective, as he faces off against some of his past foes.
