Synopsis
Sonic, Knuckles, and Tails reunite against a powerful new enemy, Shadow, a mysterious villain with powers unlike any they’ve faced before. Unable to outgrow their abilities, Team Sonic must find an unlikely alliance. The creators of the previous films have mentioned that they looked to Sonic the Hedgehog 2 (2001) and Shadow the Hedgehog (2005) for inspiration. The film also draws narrative elements from the Sonic the Hedgehog (1993) animated television series. Commander Walters: [about Shadow] Project Shadow is so much more than anything we’ve faced. Shadow’s story began much like yours, Sonic. But where you found family and friends, Shadow found only pain and loss. Next up: Sonic: Super Hedgehog (2020)
