Sonic the Hedgehog 4 currently has an official theatrical release date of March 19, 2027.

Quick Scoop: When will Sonic 4 come out?

For the live‑action movie series, Sonic the Hedgehog 4 is scheduled to hit theaters on March 19, 2027. This date has been repeatedly referenced in entertainment coverage and fan discussions since early 2025 and reaffirmed in early 2026 articles.

A few extra context points:

  • Earlier fan theories and forum posts speculated about late 2026 or “sometime in 2027” , based on how long Sonic 2 and Sonic 3 took to produce.
  • With the official March 19, 2027 date circulating in news coverage and fan wikis, most current community discussion now treats 2027 as locked in, not 2026.

In forum threads, you’ll still see people nostalgically talking about “what if it had made 2026,” but the conversation has largely shifted to what might happen in the 2027 story, cast, and trailers.

Mini breakdown (timeline style)

  1. Sonic 1 released in 2020 (after a delay for redesign).
  2. Sonic 2 released in 2022, roughly a two‑year gap.
  1. Sonic 3 released in December 2024, stretching that gap a bit further.
  1. Sonic 4 is now slated for March 19, 2027 , about 2 years and 3 months after Sonic 3’s Christmas‑season launch.

Fans often point out that this keeps the series roughly on a “every couple of years” rhythm while giving more breathing room after the big third‑movie event.

What about Sonic 4 the game?

If you were thinking of a brand‑new Sonic 4 video game rather than the movie, there is no widely accepted official new “Sonic 4” game release date announced as of early 2026. Much of what you’ll see online about a new Sonic 4 game is:

  • Speculative blog posts and SEO articles using the phrase “Sonic 4 release date” to attract clicks.
  • General hype about what features, story, or gameplay such a title might have, without concrete confirmation from Sega.

So:

  • Movie: Sonic the Hedgehog 4 – March 19, 2027 (theatrical).
  • New mainline game called “Sonic 4”: nothing officially dated or confirmed in a clear way yet.

TL;DR

  • If you’re asking “when will Sonic 4 come out?” about the movie , the answer is: March 19, 2027.
  • If you meant a new Sonic 4 game , there is no solid, official release date publicly set so far; most info is just speculation and hype pieces.
