The trailer, revealed during this year’s Summer Game Fest stream, showed off a mix of both Sonic and Shadow stages in action. While classic Sonic will still play in 2D, Shadow’s stages are all 3D and play in the same style as the Adventure games. The trailer lists the game as having “two epic adventures” suggesting that Shadow’s content will be separated from the base game.

It will have a physical edition on all platforms that includes a replica of Robotnik’s journal and a Sonic Adventure legacy skin for Sonic. There will also be a Digital Deluxe Edition that includes three days of early access, extra skill points, a music pack, digital artbook, and original soundtrack, plus an additional level and skin for Shadow releasing later this year.

You can wish-list Sonic X Shadow Generations for PS4, PS5, Xbox Series X/S, Nintendo Switch, and PC now before it launches for $50.

Mistwalker's Apple Arcade exclusive RPG Fantasian is making its way to consoles under the new title Fantasian Neo Dimension. Fantasian was originally released in two parts in 2021, and Fantasian Neo Dimension will contain all the game's content when released on Nintendo Switch for the 2024 holiday season.

During the June 2024 Nintendo Direct, Fantasian Neo Dimension was revealed to be coming to Nintendo Switch in time for the holidays. Fantasian is a turn-based RPG featuring an amnesiac protagonist named Leo who awakens in a dimension known as the Machine Realm. In the Apple version, players would tap on locations to move Leo around the maps and engage in random battles. However, using the Dimengeon system would allow players to disable random battles against foes they already faced and store them in the titular Dimengeon to explore uninterrupted. There is a limit to how many fights can be stored, so players cannot avoid every fight in the game.
