Shadow the Hedgehog is easily one of the more memorable characters in the Sonic series’ character roster, but the character was sadly left out of the main campaign as a playable character. However, this doesn’t mean that he needs to be forgotten entirely, as players have the ability to customize their Avatar with his costume.
Unfortunately, the only way that you can currently get this costume is if you pre-order the game through EB Games. They will send you a download code that can be redeemed for the Shadow costume, which comes in three parts (headgear, gloves and a bodysuit). There are also three different color variations for players to play around with, which includes the standard black style, as well as white and chartreuse.
However, the ability to be able to equip the costume in Sonic Forces is not available to you right away, as you must first complete the Avatar’s first stage. Once you’ve complete the first stage (the Chemical Plant Spaceport), you will then be able to customize their wardrobe through the Avatar menu on the World Map and then head to the Fitting Room.
It’s entirely possible that this Shadow costume will come to the game at some point post-launch, but for now you need to have pre-ordered through EB Games to get it. However, you don’t have to be left out in the cold completely if you missed out, as the Episode Shadow DLC lets you take control of the actual character and it’s a free download for everyone. The DLC includes three Shadow-specific stages, but it also allows you to use Shadow in all of the Modern Sonic stages.
Sonic Forces is available for PC, PS4, Switch and Xbox One.
