Sega has posted a short video via social media giving fans a tantalising look at an upcoming character skin available via the Sonic X Shadow Generations Digital Deluxe Edition.
As previously revealed, the skin in question is Terios the Hedgehog – but who the heck is Terios? Dedicated fans will likely already know, but Terios is simply an early concept design for the character that would eventually become Shadow.
He resembles Sonic's overall design quite closely, but his spines droop down a lot more and he also boasts a sweet scar down the left side of this face. He's also a lot darker in colour, representing a moodier personality than what we're used to with Sonic.
Terios has become somewhat of a fan favourite since his design was first showcased via some Sonic Adventure 2 concept art. As a result, fans have modded his design into the original Dreamcast game, while he's also shown up in other ROM hacks throughout the years.
His appearance in Sonic X Shadow Generations is the first instance Sega has officially embraced the design as an optional skin, but we're hopeful that maybe Terios will show up in a future project alongside both Sonic and Shadow.
What do you make of the Terios skin? Are you happy to see this concept art be given a new lease of life in Sonic X Shadow Generations? Let us know with a comment.

Finally, Classic Shadow!
Terios looks like my mate Jezza after chuggin one too many quad vods at The Razz.
I love it when they do stuff like this! I hope in future games they include this and rabbit sonic as skins if they make them playable in the future.
Pretty cool, fingers crossed it will be possible to upgrade to the Digital Deluxe for those getting the game physically like me and also those who might want to get it later - it's more likely than not as that's usually the case for Sega games, but it's not guaranteed!
Cool, now give us Coldsteel.
Yay more exclusive stuff that should be in the base game...
Man I'm so excited for this, but just waiting on gameplay for switch. Sonic games on switch havnt exactly been great performance wise
So are the people who purchase the physical edition going to have the ability to purchase this separately?
@PushMyGran1986
yeah this is something which im curious about, iirc i dont think weve seen any footage/gameplay yet and even the one on nintendo's youtube mentions its an approximation of what it may look like on switch and not actually running on the system.
not really keen on committing to buying something i haven't even seen yet.
@TheExile285 The eshop listing for the Digital Deluxe edition says there'll be a Digital Deluxe Season Pass which contains the extra contents.
@Grumblevolcano Awesome! Thank you!
Looks a lot better than I was expecting.
@Dr_Corndog Coldsteel is a fan-made invention. Terios is the beta concept for Shadow, just like that white-blue rabbit was a concept for Classic Sonic, back then.
@MirrorFate2 I know, I was joking.
game leaked.........its sad but is true
