It’s probably a little early to mark your calendars, but we take what we can get on a slow news day. Sega and Paramount Pictures have announced that Sonic the Hedgehog 3 will be in theaters on December 20, 2024. Yes, you read that right: 2024 just in time for the holiday season.

The third film in the series is following on the heels of the very successful Sonic the Hedgehog 2 which managed to pull in over $400M in the worldwide box office. That sum includes the biggest launch of any video game adaptation to date and became Paramount’s biggest opening in over 5 years.
At this point in the game, no one knows the premise of the movie, but we have seen hints of Shadow the Hedgehog so it’s likely to pit the two against one another. We do know, however, that Ben Schwartz will be voicing Sonic thanks to his tweet after the announcement of the movie’s release date.
