A DLC pack has been confirmed with Shadow the Hedgehog playable in three new stages, while also unlocking him for play in 10 additional Modern Sonic stages through the same add-on. The DLC's story should focus on Shadow and Infinite, the latter being the main villain of the central plot. This DLC and other character outfit packs are available on Microsoft's official store.
The DLC is expected to be called "Episode Shadow" and will be released for purchase on November 7, the same official release date as the base game.
It is worth mentioning that the base version of Sonic Forces has a locally converted price of R$139.00 on the same site and is already available for preorder.
Update note: Gameplay footage of Shadow in Green Hill Zone was released on the official American Sonic channel. The DLC will indeed be called "Episode Shadow" and will be free.
Knuckles Is Expected to Lead the Resistance
According to an audio clip released on Sonic's official Japanese YouTube channel, Eggman asks people not to "follow the Echidna" from the resistance, claiming that on his side they will receive a bed, warm shelter, and food, unlike Knuckles, who only "thinks about fighting." The resistance heroes also received an audio clip on the Japanese channel, this time with Knuckles making the call and saying that he is the leader of the resistance. As shown in scenes from the latest Japanese trailer released, Knuckles also stands before the army and gives a battle cry.
Here are the official audio clips in video form:
Dr. Eggman's Advice to Surrender Test, TEST. Today is a sunny day. *clears throat* To the good and innocent people of this world. I am Dr. Eggman. A man with a miraculous brain who will become the new king of this planet. To the foolish resistance or anyone else: stop all meaningless opposition and surrender now. Ninety-nine percent of this planet is already in my hands, and your admired hero, Sonic, has also been defeated by my power. Lower your weapons and surrender. You do not need to follow the stupid echidna who only thinks about fighting. If you come over to my side now, I promise you three meals a day and time to sleep. And an underground cell... erm, *clears throat*, I will be waiting with a clean, warm dormitory. I await a wise choice from all of you. That is all. Ho-ho-ho!
Hey, everyone, can you hear me? I am Knuckles the Echidna, commander of the resistance taking on Eggman. I will not say anything complicated. To be direct, we need your strength. Please help us! You have all seen Eggman's tyranny, right? What a 'wonderful' world this is. What a joke! All he wants is a bunch of giant toys and to set everything on fire! However, we are carrying out a major plan to kick that egg-shaped butt. But to do that, we need influence and power. Your age and experience do not matter! We are grateful for anyone with the spirit and courage to fight! We are looking for eager, passionate volunteer soldiers. That is all for now.
