Sonic X Shadow Generations Movie DLC Pack Price Revealed

Sonic X Shadow Generations Movie DLC Pack Price Revealed

Key Takeaways

  • Sonic X Shadow Generations movie DLC priced at $5.99, launching on 12/12/24 at Nintendo Store.
  • DLC features Keanu Reeves as Shadow and Shibuya level, unrelated to movie but inspired by it.
  • Digital Deluxe Upgrade available at $11.99, unclear if more DLC will follow for the game.

As a long-time fan of the Sonic series, I can’t help but feel a rush of excitement upon hearing about the upcoming DLC for Sonic X Shadow Generations! The prospect of Keanu Reeves reprising his role as Shadow in the game is simply too tantalizing to ignore. And with the Shibuya level inspired by the upcoming movie, it feels like we’re getting a taste of both worlds – the classic Sonic experience and the modern cinematic universe!


In a recent store listing, it’s been revealed that the DLC for the “Sonic X Shadow Generations” movie will be priced at $5.99. This new price aligns with the pricing of the previous DLC releases for this series.

On October 25, the most recent “Sonic the Hedgehog” game became available for both PC and console platforms. Prior to its official launch, Sega had already revealed that the game “Sonic X Shadow Generations” would receive a downloadable content (DLC) skin for the character Shadow, modeled after his appearance in “Sonic the Hedgehog 3”. This new version of Shadow will include voice acting by Keanu Reeves, who also lends his voice to the character in the upcoming film.

Initially, Sega only mentioned that the movie DLC pack would be included as a bonus for the Sonic X Shadow Generations Digital Deluxe Edition. However, an eShop listing spotted by TailsChannel and confirmed by TheGamer shows that the skin will also be available for individual purchase at $5.99. Although it’s not yet listed on other digital platforms, since the information comes directly from Sega, there’s little reason to doubt its accuracy. This early revelation might have been premature.

Sonic X Shadow Generations Movie DLC Launches December 12

The additional Shadow DLC is scheduled for release on December 12, a full eight days before “Sonic the Hedgehog 3” hits American cinemas. Sonic Team Producer Shun Nakamura has referred to this expansion as an enjoyable chance to blend “Sonic X Shadow Generations” with the forthcoming movie. He emphasized that the add-on won’t strictly adhere to the film’s storyline but will instead draw inspiration from it. Besides Keanu Reeves’s Shadow, the DLC includes a level set in contemporary Shibuya, one of Tokyo’s special wards, which is also where “Sonic the Hedgehog 3” takes place. In this level, players must overcome the forces of the Guardian Units of Nations (GUN).

For those who already have the base game digitally or physically, they can acquire all the Digital Deluxe Upgrade benefits at a cost of $11.99 across all platforms. As for whether the “Sonic X Shadow Generations” movie DLC will mark the end of additional content for the game is yet to be decided. However, considering Sega’s growing trend of supporting their games with post-release expansions, it wouldn’t be surprising if Sonic Team had more surprises in store.
