Leaker MysteryLupin also posted apparent screenshots from the game, which show Sonic and Shadow in both remastered and entirely new levels, as well as more of the game's promotional art on Twitter/X. More leaked promotional art shows off available in-game rewards, including a journal written by Gerald Robotnik that details Shadow's creation as well as a legacy skin with Sonic's model from Sonic Adventure.
Sonic X Shadow Generations was first revealed during this past January's State of Play. While the game is an enhanced remaster of 2011's Sonic Generations, it also promises new levels featuring Shadow the Hedgehog. Despite the leaks, according to leaker Midori, it's rumored to appear at Summer Game Fest tomorrow, which is part of IGN's own Summer of Gaming.
