New Rumor Claims to Reveal Title of SONIC THE HEDGEHOG 4, Giving Fans an Idea About the Plot
The Sonic the Hedgehog film franchise has been more entertaining, funny and well done than anyone really expected, especially after that nightmare of a first draft drawing of Sonic was leaked.
But they went back to the drawing board, literally, and found what worked. The first three movies were a ton of fun, and a fourth is in the works, but we are still a year and a half away from its planned release.
No real news has been released about the movie, but a new rumor has cropped up that may point us in an interesting direction.
According to scooper Daniel Richtman (via SuperHeroHype), the official title for Sonic the Hedgehog 4 could wind up being Sonic CD. This would be a nod to the 1993 platform game, Sonic the Hedgehog CD, which introduced time travel as a game mechanic.
This would make sense given that the post-credit scene of Sonic the Hedgehog 3 formally introduced Amy Rose and Metal Sonic into the film franchise, and the Sonic CD game was where both characters originally debuted.
Additionally, Richtman said that Sonic 4 will explore a “darker future,” though further information beyond that is not available at this time.
This is just a rumor at this time and should be treated as such, as there’s been no official announcement from Paramount Pictures regarding Sonic the Hedgehog 4’s plot or title.
Sonic the Hedgehog 4 is set to be released in theaters on March 19, 2027.
