Sonic the Hedgehog 3 release date, Everything we know

 Sonic the Hedgehog 3 Everything we know

Sonic the Hedgehog 3 is set to bring back everybody's favourite speedy hedgehog next year, but it possibly won't be the next thing we see from that universe.

In June 2023, it was confirmed that the likes of Christopher Lloyd and Cary Elwes had joined the already-confirmed Knuckles spin-off series. It was reported that the series will take place between Sonic the Hedgehog 2 and the next movie.

That suggests we'll be seeing the TV show before we see Sonic the Hedgehog 3, but hopefully it doesn't mean there will be any delay for the new movie.

So while we wait for an update on the threequel, here's everything you need to know about Sonic the Hedgehog 3.

Sonic the Hedgehog 3 will be speeding into cinemas on December 20, 2024, assuming there aren't any delays. 

This was confirmed in early August 2022, marking a slightly longer wait than fans are used to for Sonic's big-screen adventures.

It's a change from the previous two movies, which were released in the earlier part of the year (February 2020 and April 2022, respectively). The box-office success of those movies shows that a Christmas release makes total sense.

There's been no announcement on when production will start on the threequel, but we imagine it'll have to start this year as like the other two movies, there will be a significant amount of time spent on the visual effects.
