Based on some recent reports and social media posts, Sonic X Shadow Generations' Nintendo Switch ROM has reportedly leaked online. This continues an unfortunate trend regarding Nintendo Switch games being pirated before release, as Super Mario Party Jamboree similarly got leaked recently. Gamers with access to the leaked ROM can play the game unofficially using a hacked Switch console or emulator. As a result of the leak, Sonic X Shadow Generations' content has been posted online, with various images and videos being shared on Twitter and YouTube.

Sonic X Shadow Generations ROM and Spoilers Have Already Leaked Online

It's been confirmed that these videos and images of the game contain various spoilers about the gameplay and story of Shadow Generations. A map of Shadow Generations' White Space overworld was posted, along with reportedly rewritten and re-voiced cutscenes from the base game of Sonic Generations to fit with the new content.

Many fans are excited about Shadow Generations' campaign, as it features Sonic's iconic anti-hero rival in the starring role. Shadow's Doom Powers, boss fights, and story developments were all things that many fans wanted to see on their own and be surprised about, especially when it involves important characters. Fans looking for a completely blind experience going into Sonic X Shadow Generations should take the appropriate measures to avoid being spoiled for the next two weeks.
