Granted, we do not get to see a lot (they only had to chop off his head), however what we will see confirms that the character seems to be to be a reasonably darn trustworthy recreation of the unique design from Takashi Iizuka and Shiro Maekawa; albeit with possibly just a few added bells and whistles on his footwear.
Shadow initially appeared in Sonic Journey 2 for the Sega Dreamcast earlier than changing into a everlasting fixture of the franchise and a beloved character amongst followers. He did not, nonetheless, seem in Sonic Superstars or Sonic Frontiers, so this is hoping we get to see him in a future sport installment sooner moderately than later.
Sonic the Hedgehog 3 will see the return of Ben Schwartz because the titular hero, Colleen O’Shaughnessey as Tails, and Idris Elba as Knuckles. The latter may even star in a ‘Knuckles‘ mini-series on Paramount+ beginning early 2024.
