News by Matt Wales Reporter Updated on 10 Dec 2021 19 comments UPDATE 10/12/21: Here's your best look yet at Sonic the Hedgehog 2, via tonight's new trailer premiered at The Game Awards: Watch on YouTube ORIGINAL STORY 8/12/21: Sonic the Hedgehog is celebrating his 30th birthday this year, and the anniversary festivities are set to continue later this week, with a look at Sonic's upcoming movie sequel and next game both now confirmed for the Game Awards. Oh, and a new movie poster has been revealed too. Sega first unveiled its new Sonic game during the hedgehog's special 30th birthday livestream back in May. The accompanying teaser trailer didn't offer much beyond a quick snatch of the iconic gaming mascot speeding through a forest, but a later press release named the game - planned to launch on Switch, PlayStation, Xbox, and PC in 2022 - as Sonic Rangers. However, Sega later retracted that name, claiming its inclusion was a mistake. That ongoing namelessness will almost certainly be remedied during this week's Game Awards, which are due to take place at 1am on Friday, 10th December in the UK. Show organiser Geoff Keighley confirmed viewers would be given a chance to "see the next game" during the event in a post to Twitter earlier today.

That same tweet also confirmed Sonic's second live-action movie outing would be making its "world premiere" at this year's Game Awards, with stars Jim Carey and Ben Schwartz (Dr. Robotnik and Sonic the Hedgehog respectively) due to make an appearance during the show. In the meantime, Sega and Paramount have released the first poster for Sonic's upcoming movie sequel, which you can see below. Poster's here. Trailer.
