SEGA releases free Sonic Jam skin for Sonic X Shadow Generations
This skin is a cute throwback to Sonic's classic look.
Fans have gotten yet another treat as SEGA has released the Sonic Jam skin for Sonic X Shadow Generations, and the best part is, the skin is free for all players.
To be exact, this new Sonic skin is available now as a free download for Sonic X Shadow Generations players on all platforms. The skin itself transforms Classic Sonic, giving him a retro look that’s inspired by his first-ever 3D design.
As for its name, it’s a throwback to Sonic Jam which was released back in 1997 for the SEGA Saturn. This package is a collection of four Sega Mega Drive games, including Sonic the Hedgehog, Sonic the Hedgehog 2, Sonic the Hedgehog 3, and Sonic & Knuckles. Plus, the collection also includes the bonus Sonic World level which is technically the first 3D level in the franchise.
While 1998’s Sonic Adventure was technically the first 3D platformer in the series, Sonic Jam’s special level is believed to be a prototype for the series’ jump to 3D. Instead of featuring action-packed gameplay though, the Sonic World level functioned as a hub where players can see the various extra content.
The franchise has come a long way since the first 3D level in Sonic Jam, with the latest game being Sonic X Shadow Generations. Released back in October, this is partly a remaster of the 2011 game Sonic Generations, but it’s bundled with the Shadow Generations campaign which features brand-new story levels.
Sonic X Shadow Generations is out now on PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, Switch, and PC.
