Movie Shadow coming to Sonic X Shadow Generations
blog.playstation.com2024 has been a long time coming for Shadow the Hedgehog fans. The Year of Shadow has been nothing but delights and with the third film in the Sonic the Hedgehog film franchise on the way, fans will finally be able to see the enigmatic anti-hero on the big screen! But don’t worry, you won’t have to wait much longer because on December 12 you can step right into movie Shadow’s Air Shoes right on PS4 and PS5! With the just-announced Sonic the Hedgehog 3 Movie Pack, get immersed in gameplay and cinematics voiced by the iconic Keanu Reeves!
We took a seat with series producer, Shun Nakamura, to get some deeper insight into the behind-the-scenes of this groundbreaking content as well as what to expect when it drops later this year.
At what point in development was it decided to include DLC in the title?
Nakamura-san: This title has been developed to satisfy not just the Sonic game fans, but also those who see the Sonic movie and become fans of Sonic and Shadow for the first time.
But of course, we didn’t expect to have Shadow from the movie included in this game, as the world for the movie and game are different – we thought that it would be challenging to do so.
However, we saw an almost festival-like opportunity where we have the movie and game being launched almost at the same time. We decided to pursue it and have work on movie-related content with development starting last Autumn.
What was the thought process on including the Movie version of Shadow?
Nakamura-san: Since the game and the movie pack content are releasing before the film, we thought it would be ideal to have people to play the game and have their feelings about Shadow, then go out and see the movie. After experiencing the film, hopefully they would want to come back to play the game again as Shadow.
We imagined that with so many new Sonic fans who love the movies, perhaps this will be the perfect motivation to jump in and play Sonic X Shadow Generations if Shadow from the movie would appear.
