‘Sonic the Hedgehog 3’ will kick off the new year. It has confirmed its release date for January 1, 2025, and has released a bike poster and a video of ‘New Character Shadow’ containing the intense appearance of Shadow, the series‘ strongest rival.

The poster released on the 3rd catches the eye with Shadow’s charisma as he rides his bike and glares at his opponents fiercely. Shadow, with his signature dark aura, races through the city, emitting energy and intense flashes of light, raising expectations for an unprecedented showdown between Shadow, who has more power and speed than anyone else, and the super hero Sonic.

In addition, Jim Carrey, who is loved by many fans for the ‘Sonic the Hedgehog’ series, personally introduces Shadow, who makes a new appearance in ‘Sonic the Hedgehog 3’, drawing attention. Jim Carrey, who returned as the unique Doctor Robotnik, explains Shadow‘s characteristics with humor and wit, raising the curiosity of potential viewers.
He introduces Shadow as “faster than Sonic, stronger than Knuckles, and seemingly invincible with his teleportation ability”. And Jim Carrey suddenly disappears as soon as he finishes saying, “But that’s not the case,” and quickly zooms in with an extreme close-up saying, “They just appear somewhere else,” thereby demonstrating the teleportation of “Shadow,” making everyone laugh.

Meanwhile, Keanu Reeves, who voiced Shadow, adds to the anticipation by saying, “I tried to find my own Shadow,” foreshadowing Shadow‘s unpredictable performance.
