It seems Keanu Reeves will not only voice Shadow the Hedgehog in the upcoming live-action Sonic film, but he will also lend him his voice in Sonic X Shadow Generations. Sega and Sony revealed this during the most recent State of Play presentation.
The Sonic the Hedgehog 3 Movie Pack will add a new skin for Shadow, based on his design in said upcoming film. But the most interesting aspect about this exciting expansion pack is that it will also add new voice lines by none other than Keanu Reeves, which is quite unprecedented for this franchise, seeing as the Sonic games very rarely feature performances by famous Hollywood actors. Fans have reacted to this announcement with a lot of excitement.
The Sonic the Hedgehog 3 Movie Pack will be available to download in Sonic X Shadow Generations from December 12, 2024, although neither company confirmed its official price yet. However, Sony and Sega also confirmed that the Movie Pack will be part of the Digital Deluxe edition of the game, which will also give players full access to the game 3 days early.
2024 is the year of Shadow the Hedgehog
Shadow the Hedgehog will make his big screen debut in the upcoming Sonic the Hedgehog 3 live-action movie, where he will be portrayed by Keanu Reeves. He will also star in his own video game, with the upcoming release of Sonic X Shadow Generations, a bundle that includes a remaster of 2011’s Sonic Generations and a brand-new campaign focused on him, titled Shadow Generations.
And if all that wasn’t enough, Shadow also cosplayed as Batman in a recent animated short, which later resulted in the announcement of an official Sonic the Hedgehog x DC collaboration. Fans of the character are excited because it seems 2024 is the “Year of Shadow”, something that the official Sonic the Hedgehog accounts on social media declared.
