Overview
- Industry reports on Oct. 29 cite tipster Daniel Richtman in saying Paramount is considering using the title Sonic CD instead of Sonic the Hedgehog 4.
- The sequel is currently scheduled to arrive in theaters on March 19, 2027.
- The potential title would reference the 1993 Sega game that introduced Amy Rose and Metal Sonic, with reports suggesting those characters are expected to feature.
- The retitle has not been confirmed by the studio and could simply be a working or internal name during development.
- Coverage discusses a tension between nostalgic appeal for longtime fans and simple, kid-focused branding, as Richtman also claims the new story could explore a “darker future,” a detail that remains unverified.
