Despite Sonic boss Takashi Iizuka stating that Sonic Adventure remakes won't be happening anytime soon, Sega has renewed a trademark, sparking speculation that a Shadow the Hedgehog remake could be in the works.
Shadow the Hedgehog has had one of the biggest career comebacks in recent memory. Sonic fans loved him when he first arrived on the scene in Sonic Adventure 2, but after his self-titled game, which saw him using guns and swearing (along with a banger nu-metal buttrock tune), he became the poster boy of edgelords. But in 2024, Sega – after a few years of people coming around on the character – declared it the Year of Shadow, which gave us his Keanu Reeves-voiced appearance in Sonic the Hedgehog 3 and Shadow Generations, a semi-sequel to Sonic Generations, included with the remastered version.
