Sonic RPG on the Way to DS via Bioware

This is no rumor. It comes from an official press release. BioWare is working on a RPG featuring everyone’s favorite speedy blue hedgehog and the unnamed title is destined for the dual-screened Nintendo DS sometime in 2008. Sega is teaming up with BioWare on this project, but the latter is doing most of the creating. Sega is just putting Sonic in what they call “the safest of hands.” After all, BioWare is one of the best when it comes to RPGs.

As you recall, BioWare is responsible for such hits as Neverwinter Nights and Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic. They know their stuff.

“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.”
