TOKYO, Japan – Jan. 24, 2025 – SEGA CORPORATION (Hhereinafter SEGA®) is pleased to announce that the worldwide sales of their game SONIC X SHADOW GENERATIONS has surpassed two million units (*1).
SONIC X SHADOW GENERATIONS is a title that combines two games: Sonic Generations™, where players can enjoy speed-running various stages with Classic Sonic and Modern Sonic, enhanced with new elements, and "Shadow Generations," a completely new game featuring the dark hero Shadow racing through dynamic environments. The story begins as a mysterious creature called the "Time Eater" creates distortions in time and space, setting off separate adventures for Sonic and Shadow. Players can look forward to a high-speed action-adventure with distinct gameplay experiences and narratives.
In addition to offering a new "Sonic" gameplay experience, this title supports 12 languages (*2) to reach a wider global audience and was released simultaneously worldwide on multiple platforms. It was also involved in large-scale global promotions, including exhibiting at events around the world.
To further grow the Sonic IP, we have focused on transmedia development as an important strategy, which involves the global expansion across various media verticals and merchandising. Furthermore, this fiscal year is themed "Fearless: Year of Shadow" for the Sonic IP, focusing on global initiatives that highlight Shadow.
The movie “Sonic the Hedgehog 3,” which was released last December, has grossed over $425 million at the worldwide box office, surpassing the series' previous record of $405 million. In addition to this game, the mobile game “Sonic Rumble” is scheduled to be released. We will work to further raise awareness of the Sonic IP and expand the brand.
