Bioware creating Sonic RPG

Filed in archive Nintendo DS on June 22, 2007

Whoa. Bioware, famous for RPG hits such as Baldur's Gate and Neverwinter Nights, are teaming up with Sega to create a sonic RPG. Kinda reminds of when Square joined forces with Nintendo and created the Super Mario RPG oh so many years ago. The project still doesn't have an official name, but the Sonic RPG is set for release in 2008.



Simon Jeffery, president and COO of SEGA America said: "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."

Greg Zeschuk, president of BioWare said: "We're thrilled to be working with SEGA on Sonic, one of the industry's most enduring and compelling icons." Meanwhile, Ray Muzyka, CEO of BioWare added: "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."
