In Shadow Generations, the notorious Black Doom reemerges to once again threaten world domination. Determined to thwart these nefarious plans, Shadow must delve deep into his past, confront painful memories, and harness new dark powers known as Doom Powers.

These abilities allow Shadow to surf on water, fly over obstacles, and even stop time using Chaos Control.

Players will relive levels from Shadow’s previous adventures, now twisted by Black Doom’s influence, in both 3D and 2D stages.
