Sega’s Blue Blur will be back again as Paramount has announced that Sonic the Hedgehog 4 is set to hit theaters in Spring 2027, as reported by Variety. Paramount seems confident about the series’ future, announcing the sequel on the same day Sonic the Hedgehog 3 premieres. The third film is expected to perform well due to the holiday season, even as it goes up against Disney’s Lion King prequel, Mufasa.
No plot details have been revealed for Sonic the Hedgehog 4, but star Ben Schwartz expressed his excitement to return to voice Sonic again on his Instagram page, confirming the news. What we do know is that Sonic 3 will fall in line with the tradition of the films that end with a new character being introduced.
Fans have speculated that it will either be Amy Rose or Metal Sonic, but with Team Sonic’s massive menagerie, all bets really are off.
