The show was inspired by the red-colored Echidna warrior due to the relative success of the first two Sonic movies. A third movie has been announced and the latest news about the film is that its leading antagonist, the black-haired Shadow, will be voiced by John Wick's Keanu Reeves.
There is also an upcoming update for Sonic Dream Team that will add post-launch content but there has not been much information regarding what that would include. There are new LEGO sets that will feature Knuckles, Rogue, and Shadow.
Despite all of the juicy projects that Sonic fans are eagerly waiting for, there could be more that have not yet been announced. It is worth noting that Sonic Team recently declared that this year is the Year of Shadow.
