Sonic The Hedgehog 2 is out now in cinemas outside of Southeast Asia, meaning a good chunk of people are already talking about the show’s probable post-credits scene. And it’s a doozy, so you may want to stick around when the credits roll.

Before we start talking about the scene, it’s already confirmed last month that there will be a Sonic The Hedgehog 3 movie in the works from Paramount. Here’s the official logo:

And that’s all we can say before delving deep into spoiler territory regarding the Sonic The Hedgehog 2 post-credits scene. So spoiler warning! 

Many Sonic fans have predicted the following on 16th February:

And true enough, the Sonic game’s resident edgelord Shadow The Hedgehog will be the focus for Sonic The Hedgehog 3, and will likely be the main villain. The post-credits scene also references Project Shadow, which is a genetics program started by Robotnik’s grandfather that created the edgelord hedgehog who also brandishes a handgun in one of the games.

Sonic 2’s post-credits scene also reveals that Dr Robotnik is still alive. Most importantly, the Sonic cinematic universe timeline will adapt events of the Dreamcast title Sonic Adventures 2. This means a couple of things:

• There’s going to be an orchestral cover of Crush 40’s “Escape From The City” and “Live and Learn”.
• The filmmakers are going to add in Rouge the Bat (below), which is going to get the Sonic/furry fanbase all hot and bothered. We’re not judging.

On a related note, Sonic Frontiers is slated for a November 2022 release.
