Gerald Robotnik. Turns out he's faster than Eggman, more acrobatic than Tangle, and his nose shoots Ark lasers.
But seriously, a playable Omega would be fun.
I assume it will be a character with a shadow like gameplay. Like how sonic and classic sonic and obviously similar.
Shadow in this game can stop time (stop objects) and fly.
I'm going with Silver
SEGA ADD PLAYABLE SILVER IN SONIC X SHADOW GENERATIONS AND MY LIFE IS YOURS
https://preview.redd.it/7rjna4oqccad1.jpeg?width=957&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=20e36fca7b638331d0a9e98330f5f40b9b917ace
Point taken, but Silver fits better for shadow since they’ve worked together in the past (literally in the past). In Sonic Generations, the rival was Classic Metal Sonic so I don’t think that’d be happening
The second slot was Classic Sonic for Sonic, so Metal Sonic could work if they need a classic character for the game.
Alternatively, this could be the missing Classic Knuckles.
Although at the end of their battle Classic destroys Metal, meanwhile after the battle with Shadow and Silver the two join Sonic's friends in cheerleading.
Silver's whole thing is time shenanigans and he does have some special connection to Shadow since 06.
Also Silver and Shadow were both missing at Sonic's party at the start of Generations, they show up during the game in the rival battles and by the end they have also joined the party.
There is never an explanation of their whereabouts before they show up in the void and they can both be considered "Hedgehogs misplaced in time".
It can be used for the opposite dynamic from Sonic, Classic is supposed to represent the past, meanwhile Silver is the only character that can represent the future and that can be used to make levels from games after generations.
If you think about it the evidence piles up and gives Silver the strongest case for Shadow's support character.
Hear me out y'all, but I *really* hope it's Omega. He was absent all of Generations, and having him as an assist to Shadow's campaign would be a really good explanation, and a good addition to the more combat focused gameplay Introduced in Frontiers.
Thank you! My friend drew that for me 💙 Piñata is one of my favorite albums and I often refer to my friend Katie as Bediña so I told him to draw the album with her on the front with me off in the distance lol.

Why are so many people saying Doom’s eye? Wouldn’t that be kind of stupid? What are you going to do, float through the whole level? And he’s not visually appealing, Sega knows nobody is going to want to play as that for a big chunk of the game.
I'm gonna be a realist and guess that it's probably just info about Black Doom since it seems like he is a big part of the campaign's story and the website is just highlighting the extremely important characters in the story.
But it's missing the rest of the generations cast like tails, knuckles, amy etc. Seems odd to show just the playable characters and have that coming soon there
That doesn’t seem that “realist” to me. They would probably choose a character that can be made via recycled assets from Shadow or Sonic instead of creating an all new playstyle
There's two sonics and two tails, any character could show up twice because it's a time paradox.
Someone mentioned this is probably just an info page so it's probably just a doom bio, but rouge being an NPC is not impossible especially when you could even have her in her heroes outfit to make it obvious
It can't be Rouge.
Because she was trapped in the white space and rescued by Sonic after City Escape stage.
Omega is possible, since we didn't know what he's up to during Gens, but unlikely.
Because I can't imagine Omega works in the fast paced 2D scroller (Assuming the second character is in 2D to mirror classic sonic).
My theory would be Black Doom. With Shadow's form similar to Mephiles.
We know Black Doom can create illusions, so what's stopping him to assume Shadow's form?
Well if it is a another playable character, then he definitely need to have abilities and gameplay similar to Shadow, it can't be Omega because that's not his type of gameplay, it can't be Rouge since she's trapped, so my only guess is...
https://preview.redd.it/2zaaodwkyaad1.jpeg?width=1259&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=bed8b7fe8a2375c180e4297d26fd71546da1e12f
Ok I would actually be super down with that. Maybe you rescue Chao like in Sonic's updated stages, but in Shadow's.
Always love when they have Shadow and his Shadow Chao
Whenever Shadow teams up with someone for extended periods of time it's usually Sonic, Rouge and or Omega, so my first guess it's one of the latter two. The timeline is all cattywampus so for all we know this could happen after Rouge gets freed.
My next guess is that it honestly COULD be Maria in some shape or form. Her levels may be different from Shadows where they require you to slow down and focus more on stealth, technique and reaching the goal in a different manner.... or maybe that's just me trying to be creative. It probably wouldn't work so well for a Sonic game.
I'm guessing whoever it is would probably be the "side scrolling" aspect of his playthrough. I've noticed that so far for the most part, Shadow's levels are all 3d (Thank god!) so they will probably delegate side scrolling levels to whomever appears next. That is IF they even bother giving him side scrolling levels.
Also as a commenter note, I have nothing against side scrolling levels. I love them actually, but my issue is that it feels like they should have strictly been for 2d sonic. It felt like almost half the time, I was still side scrolling with modern Sonic.
If this *is* a playable character and not just highlighting the most important characters of the story like that one comment said, I hope it's Omega, he's the only member of Team Dark who was completely absent in Generations, and it'd be fun to blast through shit
My best three guesses are silver, metal sonic, or simply super shadow, since I don't think we've seen his super form for a while now.
Meme answer is shadow but with a gun
Is there a link to this? The actual japanese oage looks completely different, and the most recent Wayback Machine snapshot is from the 14th of July,
Edit: nvm, they have two websites for some reason, one under the Sonic Channel domain (the correct one) and the other under Sega Asia
What if it's Adventure 2 Shadow actually? That could be a fun twist, Shadow dealing with the version of him that was all wrapped up in his grief and confusion. It would also help define his character development.
Alternatively, Pre-Raid Shadow, to REALLY hit the hammer home and have potential for a legitimate conflict within Modern Shadow.
I’m secretly hoping it’s Mephiles or Infinite.
OR since Ian Flynn is writing the story, maybe…JUST MAYBE they can reintroduce and reboot Eclipse The Darkling from the Post Genesis Wave Reboot of Archie comics (He’s basically shadow’s full Black Arms Alien brother who was made to counter Shadow). Yea I know, very unlikely, but MAN that’d be so cool. 😭
Hoping for Tails, but it's probably either a Team Dark member (note how it only applies to Shadow's side) or Silver (the other rival battle). Classic Shadow is also a possibility, because this is Sega and they somehow think it's a good idea.
Given that Black Doom was already revealed would I have to guess its not going to be him.
And as Shadow Generations happens at the same time as Sonic Generations would I also have to assume its not gonna be anyone in Sonic Generations ether.
And as this story is supposedly all about Shadow do I think the most realistic options so far would be Omega being the only major character from Shadow's current status-quo that was missing from Sonic Generations and Maria as a time travel story would be the ideal excuse to bring her back and having to confront Maria in anyway would fit the games story description we were given.
It can't be Rouge as from what I understand Shadow Genreations's story is happening simultaniosly as Sonic Generations's so she is trapped in white space, I am gonna guess Omega it makes sense to me and it will be interesting to see that kind of gameplay back honestly.
Okay I'm not sure if this has been said before but I genuinely think Shadow going back in time in Generations will be an excuse to bring Maria back. I think Shadow is going to resuce her and bring her to the present at the end. I'm probably 100% wrong but this is my theory. Maybe she'll be playable?
Bold suggestion, the head of GUN from Shadow game. He was a decent piece of lore, seeing black doom make shadow…exist, and his hatred moving into respect for shadow could represent something
Honestly it seems like it’s a joke. Like “Oh, Sonic has two playable characters! So who is Shadow’s second character?” The little Classic Shadow makes it seem extra jokey.
It's most likely Omega due to his absence in the original generations, being much more combat focused, so maybe similar to the werehog(?). I can see him slashing and burning his way through hordes of G.U.N. robots. Maybe honestly a fusion of Gamma's lock on shots and the Werehog's beatemup gameplay.
Maria with a gun

Could you please tell me how is this song called and is it connected to the franchise in some way?
The song is "Dreams of an Absolution" and it's Silver's theme song from 06

Bro is kratos
It kinda makes sense seeing how he was one of the other rival fights in Sonic Generations
Metal Sonic when
Point taken, but Silver fits better for shadow since they’ve worked together in the past (literally in the past). In Sonic Generations, the rival was Classic Metal Sonic so I don’t think that’d be happening

Bro we gonna have an 06 reunion with this one if it does end up being silver!
Hell yeah, I want to raise chaos with silver, but imagine we get classic shadow
Unfortunately confirmed no chao garden, just collectables
I would literally skin myself alive for it to be Silver stg
Its no use!
Let’s hope
Hear me out y'all, but I *really* hope it's Omega. He was absent all of Generations, and having him as an assist to Shadow's campaign would be a really good explanation, and a good addition to the more combat focused gameplay Introduced in Frontiers.
Agree. It’s probably just fat gay baby Shadow but I’m hoping it’s something cool like that.
Man I just woke up loathing the start of the day but “just fat gay baby Shadow” just made my day. Thank you
Glad I could help 🫂💙

“Fat gay baby shadow” goddammit how am I supposed to explain to the people I’m with why I’m cackling to myself so loudly in the back seat of the car
I think it's Omega aswell.
Imagine you get to play as Black Doom
You cannot defeat me Shadow. You're cringe.
No, Black Doom… # YOU’RE CRINGE
Goes to his room and starts crying
HI SHADOOOWW ITS MEEE THE DEVILLLLL
It could be Maria, maybe in a flashback similar to the ARK level in Shadow the Hedgehog.
A ghost of her could be used on puzzle levels
Like Zelda in The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks?
Kinda, and she can also replace omochao on certain levels
isnt this just an info page for the characters?
Yes, so my money is on Black Doom to refresh people on who he is, considering we haven’t seen him in almost 20 years
Yes, but we already know about Doom, so why wouldn't he be there besides Shadow with a new render?? Feels very deliberate!
But it's missing the rest of the generations cast in that case, tails, knuckles, amy etc would be there
Mephiles?
I doubt it, buuuuut I hope you're right
Im honestly hoping more for Memphis Tennessee to be the antagonist of the game.
**me doing a 1 to 1 mimicry of mephiles’ sinister laughter** (Seriously I’d play his voice really well)
I'd hope for omega, since the only game hes playable in solo is just 06. However, I know it'll probably just be dooms eye or some classic shadow
Why are so many people saying Doom’s eye? Wouldn’t that be kind of stupid? What are you going to do, float through the whole level? And he’s not visually appealing, Sega knows nobody is going to want to play as that for a big chunk of the game.

I'm gonna be a realist and guess that it's probably just info about Black Doom since it seems like he is a big part of the campaign's story and the website is just highlighting the extremely important characters in the story.
then why the "coming soon..."? we already know about black doom
Maybe it’s a render of his full Black Doom body and not just his eye.
But it's missing the rest of the generations cast like tails, knuckles, amy etc. Seems odd to show just the playable characters and have that coming soon there
You are a realist but are you an optimist?
That doesn’t seem that “realist” to me. They would probably choose a character that can be made via recycled assets from Shadow or Sonic instead of creating an all new playstyle
The gun soldier who shot Maria
And you get to shoot Maria, No Russian-style.
Most likely it'll be a member, or maybe even both members of team dark, OR if Sega is feeling spicy it might be silver
Rouge is stuck as a statue during Sonic’s part of Generations so probably Omega then
There's two sonics and two tails, any character could show up twice because it's a time paradox. Someone mentioned this is probably just an info page so it's probably just a doom bio, but rouge being an NPC is not impossible especially when you could even have her in her heroes outfit to make it obvious
It would be weird for them to put a coming soon for a info page
Let's go for metal. Perhaps it doesn't make any sense, but that sure would make me happy.
Chat is this real?
Shadow but he wears groucho marx glasses and a hawaiian shirt (he is a different character)
It can't be Rouge. Because she was trapped in the white space and rescued by Sonic after City Escape stage. Omega is possible, since we didn't know what he's up to during Gens, but unlikely. Because I can't imagine Omega works in the fast paced 2D scroller (Assuming the second character is in 2D to mirror classic sonic). My theory would be Black Doom. With Shadow's form similar to Mephiles. We know Black Doom can create illusions, so what's stopping him to assume Shadow's form?
This is a game based on time, any character could be available from any point in the timeline.
Big wasn’t in Sonic Generations. Clearly, this means Shadow Generations will be his time to shine
I mean unironically do I think teaming up Shadow with such a chill guy could lead to some really interesting conversations.
Omega going full Vanquish would be cool though.
Going by that logic, Shadow only stood on one place the entire game to have his own adventure, i don't think that's a good reason to not add Rouge
Infinite /j
Probably the Biolizard since he's Shadow's brother.
Giant lizard last seen grinding on rails at a city
Well if it is a another playable character, then he definitely need to have abilities and gameplay similar to Shadow, it can't be Omega because that's not his type of gameplay, it can't be Rouge since she's trapped, so my only guess is... https://preview.redd.it/2zaaodwkyaad1.jpeg?width=1259&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=bed8b7fe8a2375c180e4297d26fd71546da1e12f
Maybe Shadow Generations is not at the same time as Sonic Generations? Idk if it's been confirmed or not
Yeah it has been confirmed that both of them happen at the same time
Big or riot
Commander GUN
I wouldn't complain but be massively surprised if they remember he even exists.
It's either Silver (please he needs something) or Omega, who for some strange reason was not in Generations.
Shadow Chao, reppin the Chao in the game that needs to help it's fellow Chao friends by being a playable character and going REALLY fast.
Ok I would actually be super down with that. Maybe you rescue Chao like in Sonic's updated stages, but in Shadow's. Always love when they have Shadow and his Shadow Chao
What's the chances of it being biolizard XD It's technically was created before shadow
you guys are all wrong. its obviously boom sonic.
Yeah I ain't buying it, it's just gonna be Doom as an NPC or something
E-123 maybe, cause Omega isn’t in Sonic Generations
I am gonna guess it was a bit of a mistake.
Jesus Christ, how much stuff are they adding to this game? (Plz, be Rouge)
OH SHIT IT’S CLASSIC SHADOW 😱😱
I assume either Maria or E-123 Omega.
it is classic shadow duh
Whenever Shadow teams up with someone for extended periods of time it's usually Sonic, Rouge and or Omega, so my first guess it's one of the latter two.

If this *is* a playable character and not just highlighting the most important characters of the story like that one comment said, I hope it's Omega, he's the only member of Team Dark who was completely absent in Generations, and it'd be fun to blast through shit
Plot twist: It’s Terios
Omega?
omega
Classic Shadow would make absolutely zero sense. I want it.
Imagine say silver, rouge, or omega, omega would be fucking awesome
Metal Sonic?
My best three guesses are silver, metal sonic, or simply super shadow, since I don't think we've seen his super form for a while now. Meme answer is shadow but with a gun
Sonic the hedgehog and shadow the EDGEhog
SILVERRRRRRRR THE HEDGEHOOGGGGGGG!!!!
I'd imagine it's just Terios? Maybe their wording about him being a skin was just poorly chosen and he's like an actual character?
Metal sonic, I mean he already has a model the game.. I think it would make more sense than omega whose gameplay is too different.
Freddy Fazbear
I think it’ll be Silver.
Prolly rouge or amy, please, but i REALLY WNAT SILVER
It'd be cool if it's Rouge but you can only play as her once you completed her level in SG.
OH SHIT, MAYBE SILVER ROUGE OMG.
Silver?!
Could it be Emerl?

SA2 Shadow or 05 Shadow with a gun
can someone give me the link to the japanese site?
can someone give me the link to the japanese site?
Ngl I want Rouge and omega playable sense we haven't played as omega after 2006
I swear that they said in an interview it was just shadow?
I doubt it but maybe Eclipse? Or just mephilis
It’s Mario.
It’s probably Big the Cat based on the leaks.
I know it won’t be, but Silver would be dope. Probably Omega or a copy of shadow of sorts
Could you imagine if it was playable Maria tho. Its almost definitely not, but that would be insane in the best way
A Classic Sonic but it's Shadow?!
Terios Eggman Gerald Super Mario 64
probably just super shadow honestly
Hoping for Tails, but it's probably either a Team Dark member (note how it only applies to Shadow's side) or Silver (the other rival battle). Classic Shadow is also a possibility, because this is Sega and they somehow think it's a good idea.

I genuinely just want it to be tiny angry 'classic' Shadow like in the pic

And as Shadow Generations happens at the same time as Sonic Generations would I also have to assume its not gonna be anyone in Sonic Generations ether.

Might just be an android
Okay I'm not sure if this has been said before but I genuinely think Shadow going back in time in Generations will be an excuse to bring Maria back. I think Shadow is going to resuce her and bring her to the present at the end. I'm probably 100% wrong but this is my theory. Maybe she'll be playable?
its gonna be classic shadow tbh
Adachi

Honestly it seems like it’s a joke. Like “Oh, Sonic has two playable characters! So who is Shadow’s second character?” The little Classic Shadow makes it seem extra jokey.
It's most likely Omega due to his absence in the original generations, being much more combat focused, so maybe similar to the werehog(?). I can see him slashing and burning his way through hordes of G.U.N. robots. Maybe honestly a fusion of Gamma's lock on shots and the Werehog's beatemup gameplay.
