Shadow Generations[b] is a 2024 platform game developed by Sonic Team and published by Sega. After Shadow the Hedgehog (2005), it is the second Sonic the Hedgehog game to feature Shadow as the protagonist. Its plot runs parallel to Sonic Generations (2011) and sees Shadow travel through time as he faces his archenemy, the alien conqueror Black Doom. Like Sonic Generations, the Shadow Generations levels and bosses are drawn from previous Sonic games; it also includes levels and game mechanics from games released after Sonic Generations.
Shadow Generations is not available as a standalone game, instead being bundled with a remaster of Sonic Generations in Sonic X Shadow Generations.[c] It was released on October 25, 2024 for the Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, and Windows to generally favorable reviews.
