    UPDATE 1/29/2024: A State of Play has been announced, which lends much more credibility to this rumor.

    In the latest of what has been a surprisingly fruitful month for reportable rumors, it appears Sonic Generations may be getting some kind of announcement in the coming days at a currently-unconfirmed Playstation State of Play digital event. This rumor comes courtesy of of XboxEra co-founder/podcast co-host Nick Baker, who posted a cryptic tweet on his Twitter account:

    IMG_2137.thumb.jpeg.183656b84a8ba0370042ceca63162d5d.jpeg

    "Sonic will live in the shadow of his generation" could mean a few things, but "Sonic Generations port" seems to be the most obvious takeaway. Alternatively, it could be something that involves Shadow in some way. We do know a Shadow skin is coming to Superstars, though that would be a rather modest thing to include in a list of games. If I personally had to guess, it's a Sonic Generations remaster for modern platforms that adds Shadow as a playable character.

    Now, you're probably asking "Nuckles, why are you giving this guy the time of day," at least if your treating this as skeptically as you should any rumor. Well, it's because Baker has done this before. Last September, he posted cryptic hints of an upcoming State of Play, and was one-hundred-percent accurate. As he mentions in the Twitter exchange posted above, he seems to get lists on some of the featured games ahead of time. This is what he posted last year:

    As always, this is a rumor, so don't take it as news. Nothing has been confirmed. But as far as rumors go, this is one I feel more inclined to believe. So, we may be getting some sort of Sonic game announcement in the coming days, from an upcoming State of Play. If a State of Play is announced in the next couple days, we'll be sure to update this post. If this rumor ends up being true, be sure to stay tuned to Sonic Stadium for future updates.

    Sega, no! You haven't announced anything yet, so there's still time to not do all this bullshit. Just fix the Steam version and port it, please!

    So, a new miniature game packaged with Generations?

    I guess? I dunno, everything is just confusing at the moment

    We have a domain

    https://sonicxshadowgenerations.com/

    This means nothing as I could have bought this domain and hide it under Domain Protection. 

    Or someone quickly bought the domain before Sega, "hoping" Sega buys it off them. Most likely not going to happen, but when you can buy a domain for $10 or less, you can afford this risk.

    I'm guessing just Shadow as a playable character in Generations with maybe, MAYBE, a couple Shadow levels added.

    If this update also replaces Tails with Shadow in the cutscenes/story, I will be very angry indeed!

    You mean from Shadow’s game? Imagine if they brought back the guns for those levels…?

    I am kidding, of course!

    I'm waiting for the proverbial foot to drop to find out the reveal is just a new Shadow Skin added into in Sonic Superstars and the leaker got confused. 

    But I'd be pleasantly surprised if it was any of the above. Heck, I'd take just a simple Generations port, or even the HD SA1/2 ports brought over.

    The fact that the rumored title of this game has "Sonic X" in it, is weird and funny lol

    Anyway, if the Shadow part is about new levels, as usual I hope something from the Advance games is in it, even though it's unlikely... I can totally see Studiopolis being in though (please don't be "new levels" based on existing assets).

    I'm definitely interested in whatever this game or remaster is going to be, even though I've never been a big fan of 3D boost gameplay (and I replayed the original Generations some months ago too).

    I would be very happy if all the characters at the birthday party will be playable in this version of the game, since multiple playable characters are now a thing again; but even if they aren't, as long as the new levels will be good, I'll be happy anyway.

    New content by none of the people who made the old Generations content sure doesn't sound great. I'll keep an open mind but I'm not expecting much.

    I’m so confused, is this still a Sonic Generations remaster or something else entirely?

    Shadow was such a minuscule part of Generations that I just find it weird he’d be elevated to headliner in that game of all things 

    They gotta get that synergy between the games and movie, since it'll feature Shadow.
