Sonic the Hedgehog 4 Release Date Announced

Sonic the Hedgehog 4 is slated for a March 2027 theatrical release. Paramount Pictures has officially set the release date for March 19, 2027, as reported by Variety. While details remain scarce beyond the date, anticipation is high.

This sequel follows the massive success of Sonic the Hedgehog 3, which raked in $218 million domestically and over $420 million worldwide—the highest-grossing Sonic film to date, surpassing the first film's impressive $148 million. This achievement is particularly noteworthy considering the initial controversy surrounding the original Sonic design, which underwent significant post-production changes.

Sonic the Hedgehog 3 also holds the distinction of being the second highest-grossing video game movie in North America, trailing only the animated Super Mario Bros. Movie, continuing the cinematic rivalry between Nintendo and Sega.

While Sonic 3 hinted at another character joining the franchise, we'll keep that a surprise. For those eager to learn more, our new characters guide and Sonic 3 review are available for your perusal.
