The series is sticking to its schedule of releasing every two years, then, although this third installment is shifting from the springtime launch-pads of the previous two entries to a winter holiday slot.
This is a gesture of confidence from studio Paramount, which was delighted with the success of Sonic 2. The sequel, released in April 2022, has surpassed its predecessor to become the most successful video game movie of all time. Paramount is surely hoping the holiday family market will bring even greater rewards third time around.

And I feel like, and this is something you might never hear another celebrity say as long as time exists, I have enough. I’ve done enough. I am enough.”
