Here's a look at newly uploaded character renders from the [official Japanese *Sonic x Shadow Generations* website](https://sonic.sega.jp/SonicXShadowGenerations/?ref=news.tailschannel.com).

**Why it matters:** Some of these characters, like Charmy Bee, haven't received an update (at least in an official, public-facing capacity) since the 2011 release of *Sonic Generations*.

- It is also a matter of debate in [social media circles,](https://x.com/Engiegaming07/status/1844772738587582522?ref=news.tailschannel.com) with community members bemoaning the lighting and art style direction of the character models.

**The characters:** Knuckles the Echidna, Amy Rose, Doctor Eggman, Rouge the Bat, Vector the Crocodile, Espio the Chameleon, Charmy Bee, and Cream the Rabbit.
