“Sonic x Shadow Generations: Dark Beginnings” animation released by SEGA showcasing Shadow’s past!

We here at GamingTrend are so pumped for the new SONIC X SHADOW GENERATIONS game coming soon! I personally had such a blast with the preview for the game I did back at Summer Game Fest. You can read my preview and watch the interview with the creator of Shadow himself, Takashi Iizuka.

With Shadow being one of my favorite characters, finding out the SEGA team was releasing animations for the character before the game comes out got be excited even more. With that, take a look at the newest episode of Dark Beginnings on SEGA’s YouTube channel.

A quick update as well from our friends at SEGA:

Today, Sonic Team released the first episode of the new SONIC X SHADOW GENERATIONS: Dark Beginnings prologue animation, following Shadow the Hedgehog as he dives into his tragic past to confront the origins of his haunting nightmares of conflict and loss. The first episode centers around Shadow’s memories with his childhood friend, Maria: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1s188WNEiqw
