An electrifying new promo banner for Sonic the Hedgehog 3 has been unveiled, featuring a first look at Sonic, Tails, Knuckles, and the villainous Shadow the Hedgehog! Don’t miss out – check it out after the jump
Sonic the Hedgehog 2 ended with a tantalizing tease of Shadow, and last month, the exciting news broke that Keanu Reeves will voice the character, fulfilling countless fan casts.
Now, a first look at the villain-turned-anti-hero has been revealed in a new promo banner for the upcoming Sonic the Hedgehog 3. The banner showcases the title character alongside Tails and Knuckles, with Shadow looming large in the background.
While we hoped for a trailer release alongside IF when it opened in theaters last weekend, it didn’t materialize. We’re now eagerly anticipating a sneak peek to race online soon.
Shadow the Hedgehog made his debut in 2001’s Sonic Adventure 2. Created by Dr. Eggman’s grandfather, Professor Gerald Robotnik, Shadow was designed as the Ultimate Life Form, with abilities surpassing those of Sonic. His creation aimed to unlock the secrets of immortality and was inspired partly by Gerald’s granddaughter, Maria Robotnik.
After witnessing Maria’s death during a raid on the space colony ARK, Shadow vowed to fulfil her wish of bringing peace to humanity, initially interpreting this as a quest for revenge. His character has since been portrayed as grappling with his quest for identity, redemption, and the balance between his darker impulses and noble intentions.
“Shadow is clearly going to be in the franchise moving forward,” Sonic the Hedgehog 3 writer Josh Miller said in 2022. “I don’t think it’s revealing anything to say we’d love to incorporate elements from Sonic Adventure 2 and Shadow the Hedgehog, his solo spinoff game.”
The latter was poorly received by gamers, though there’s plenty of material in there that could be adapted in a fan-pleasing manner.
