The first official trailer for Sonic the Hedgehog 3 dropped this morning, and big stakes are on the line for team Sonic, including new member, Doctor Robotnik?!
The trailer reunites us with Team Sonic as they live their daily lives, that is until word of “the ultimate weapon” is accidently released, resulting in too dangerous of a threat for even the military. With that, unlikely yet battle-ready heroes are called in, including the blue blur, genius fox, fist-for-brains echidna, and even egg-shaped engineer, which are all set to save the world against the ultimate life form! Introducing everyone’s favorite edgy, motor-riding Sonic counterpart; Shadow the FREAKIN’ Hedgehog is here!
Incase you didn’t catch these moments, here are 5 fascinating frames and facts shown in the trailer!
- 1. Shadow’s interaction, and obvious connection to Maria, who plays as his core trama of turning against the world.
- 2. Shadow’s fighting, alongside his motorcycle, all lend tribute to his signature style in the games.
- 3. Robotik is officially egg-shaped and bald, now making him the true “Dr Eggman”
- The chao’s make an appearance in a Japanese bar in Tokyo, seemingly making them a mascot in the Sonic’s Japan.
- 4. The end of the trailer has a reprised motif of “Live and Learn”, even musically making this the ultimate Sonic VS Shadow showdown. Could the song be hinting at their eventual team up however, just like in Sonic Adventure 2?
- 5. Dr Gerald Robotnik, Eggman’s father (also seemingly played by Jim Carrey), makes a cameo at the end of the trailer, further following the Sonic storyline(s), and possibly adding explained lore on how he led creation on Shadow the Hedgehog
The movie is set to release Holiday, December 20th, 2024, making for the ultimate christmas clash between the cocky blue-quilled hero and the ultimate arse-kicking anti-hero.
