Sonic the Hedgehog movie sequel gets title and a new teaseFeb 10, 2021 - EurogamerWe knew a Sonic the Hedgehog movie sequel was coming. We knew its release date - April 8th 2022, with full production starting next month. And now we know what it's going to be called. A short video shared on the film's official Twitter account revealed the title - the somewhat predictable, unimaginative but nevertheless brilliantly evocative Sonic the Hedgehog 2.

The original Sonic the Hedgehog introduced the concept and set the tone, whilst Sonic 3 tried too hard with its dodgy boss melodies and pain-in-the-arse bonus levels. Anything after that was mince. Sonic 2 was the sweet spot in the series. Why is this relevant here at RPS’s House-O-PCs, I hear you ask?
