Sega has officially declared 2024 as the Year of the Shadow in honor of the ultimate way of life. I'm sorry Luis.
Fearless: Year of Shadows is mainly to celebrate the upcoming release of Sonic x Shadow Generations, as well as the Sonic the Hedgehog 3 movie.
Additionally, the Year of Shadow will include bonuses on mobile games, Lego sets, and additions to the Sonic Symphony World Tour.
Both Sonic Forces and Sonic Dash mobile games will include special events where players will be able to unlock Shadow variant characters such as Super Shadow, Vampire Shadow, Sir Lancelot, and Dragon Hunter Lancelot.
A custom-built Shadow motorcycle will be on display at MotoGP in Austin, Texas, this weekend, and again in the UK in August.
The Sonic Symphony World Tour will also include original Shadow scores, performed by a live orchestra and rock band, although remaining tour dates This summer they are only in the United States and Paris.
Finally, a reminder that the Lego Shadow the Hedgehog Escape Game is now available, joining the rest of the Sonic sets.
Sonic x Shadow Generations will be released this fall as a remaster of the 2011 game with new Shadow levels. It will come to PlayStation and Xbox consoles, Switch and PC.
That's before the release of the Sonic the Hedgehog 3 movie coming out in December, which appears to be based on Sonic Adventure 2 and features Shadow as teased at the end of the previous film. Jim Carey will return as Dr. Robotnik/Eggman.
Before that, the Knuckles TV show premieres on Paramount+ later this month, starring Idris Elba. Speaking about the TV show and movies, franchise producer Toby Ascher hopes the Sonic movies will be “Avengers-level events.”
