Paramount Pictures is set to expand the Sonic the Hedgehog franchise with an intriguing new project: a spin-off film titled “Sonic Universe feature,” scheduled for release on December 22, 2028. This announcement comes on the heels of the franchise’s success, particularly with Sonic the Hedgehog 3, which recently crossed the $1 billion mark at the global box office, making it the highest-grossing installment to date. The upcoming spin-off follows the fourth Sonic movie, which is expected to hit theaters on March 19, 2027.
