Paramount has announced that the sequel Sonic the Hedgehog 4 is set to be released on March 19, 2027. It’s ahead of the current schedule, seeing as it’s the only title on that date, though that’s sure to change over the next two years.

By hook or by crook, even with new owners Skydance bound to take over Paramount this year, there will be a fourth Sonic the Hedgehog with the studio dating it for March 19, 2027. That’s a week before the Easter holiday for those keeping track.

We already knew it was coming, thanks to Paramount's announcement at the end of last year, but the Sonic the Hedgehog 4 movie now has a release date. It is, however, still a fair way out - with Sonic's next big screen undertaking currently not due until 2027.
