Sega has announced new DLC for Sonic X Shadow Generations giving series fans the ability to play as Shadow from the upcoming Sonic the Hedgehog 3 live-action movie.
The new content, which launches on December 12th (just ahead of the film’s premiere on the 20th), will let players take on a “new look as Shadow” and play through a unique level inspired by the movie.
The new DLC – which is included in the game’s Digital Deluxe Edition – features the voice of Keanu Reeves as Shadow, who voices him in the film as well.
Here’s a rundown on the previously announced remaster:
Shadow the Hedgehog is back with Classic and Modern Sonic in SONIC X SHADOW GENERATIONS, an all-new collection featuring two unique experiences!
Play as Shadow in a brand-new story campaign featuring never-before-seen abilities that prove why he’s known as the Ultimate Life Form! Speed through iconic stages from Shadow’s history, discover hidden secrets in an expansive hub world, and unlock new powers to take on Black Doom and save the world.
SONIC X SHADOW GENERATIONS also includes a complete remaster of the highly acclaimed SONIC GENERATIONS, a time-traveling adventure featuring a greatest-hits collection of 3D and 2D Sonic stages, now with upgraded visuals and new bonus content.
