Sega officially announced Sonic x Shadow Generations earlier this year during the PlayStation State of Play that took place in January, confirming that the release will not only be a complete remaster of the original Sonic Generations, but that it would add new content as well, in particular a new story campaign focused on Shadow. At the time Sega also confirmed that the game would offer additional bonus content that was not in the original game and set an autumn 2024 release window, and now just a few short months later Sega has once again showcased the title. This time, audiences were treated to a new trailer during the Summer Game Fest, which not only provides an additional look at the upcoming title but sets the release date for this October as well.
