Sonic X Shadow Generations is speeding towards its October launch date on PS5 and PS4, and a new interview reveals roughly how long the remaster's brand new content is.
Speaking to Japanese outlet Famitsu, Sonic Team's Shun Nakamura has commented on the length of Shadow Generations, the all-new campaign accompanying the remastered 2011 original. According to the producer, Shadow's story will be "about the same" length as Sonic Generations, or "maybe a little less".
In other words, Sonic X Shadow Generations will roughly double the number of hours it takes to complete compared to the original game.
"If you play both [campaigns], you can enjoy it for a long time," adds Nakamura. "In the past, only 'Sonic Generations' was released, so it's a great deal."
Sonic X Shadow Generations brings back the beloved platformer fans know and love, but implements Sonic's moody rival, Shadow, with a new story to call his own. While the Sonic Generations portion will be largely the same as what came before, the Shadow Generations campaign is new, featuring new power-ups and abilities for the black and red hedgehog.
