Sonic in a new RPG to be developed by SEGA and Bioware - Image 1Sonic The Hedgehog = RPG? Old school gamers will attest that there's just something wrong with that equation. However, if Mario was able to make the (quick) jump to the RPG scene, why not Sonic? Apparently, SEGA of America, Inc., SEGA Europe Ltd., and BioWare Corp have recently announced that they will be teaming up to bring us a new Sonic RPG for the Nintendo DS.

The game doesn't have an official name yet, but we're hoping for something a little more original than Sonic RPG when it does gets released. Anyway, all the parties in the partnership are thrilled at the prospect of working together for to develop this game.

President and COO of SEGA of America, Inc. Simon Jeffery, gave a few words about that and the confidence they have in Bioware.

BioWare is one of the hottest names in RPG development in the world. Everyone at SEGA has huge confidence that Sonic is in the safest of hands, and that BioWare can create the ultimate handheld RPG experience for gamers of all ages.


This confidence in Bioware is not surprising considering the list of top quality games the company has developed - Baldur's Gate, Neverwinter Nights, Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic, Jade Empire and the up and coming Mass Effect. The chief Executive Officer of BioWare Ray Muzyka was very pumped up with the project and spoke about BioWare's commitment to bringing a great experience to gamers.

As huge fans of Sonic ourselves, we're committed to delivering a truly amazing story-driven experience within the Sonic universe, focusing on capturing the character's broad appeal and placing him in a completely original adventure.


Once again, Sonic The Hedgehog fans have a reason to rejoice. Hopefully, this game will be all that gamers expect it to be and more. Be sure to keep checking back here for more updates on this game.

I think Mario RPG was a success because they were paired with Squaresoft on that one, can Bioware measure up to Squaresoft RPG-wise? Ummm... we'll see. Either way good luck to Sonic since he seems to be dying.
