Launch date for Sonic 4 announced!
Initial rumors suggest that it will end after part 4
Attention "Sonic" fans: After "Sonic 3" proved to be a complete success at the box office, Paramount Pictures is now following suit. The start date for "Sonic 4" has been announced!
According to the industry magazine Deadline, part 4 will be released in cinemas on March 19, 2027. It can be assumed that Jeff Fowler will once again direct the film and Ben Schwartz will lend his voice to Sonic. In total, the "Sonic" films have grossed over 1.1 billion US dollars worldwide. The announcement of a fourth part should therefore come as little surprise.
However, the first rumors have already been circulating that part 4 will probably be the end. This is unlikely to go down well with fans, as the "Sonic" universe still offers more than enough opportunities to tell exciting stories. We'll keep you up to date!
