Sonic Chronicles: The Dark Brotherhood

Remember that Sonic game that Bioware was said to be developing? Well here is the name for that game.

Sega is taking a large turn with having Bioware develop this Sonic RPG adventure. From still successful side scrollers, to not so successful 3D games, Sega is now turning to the power of the RPG.

Through the topic of the title, it seems Sonic and the gang are in for a dark tale. With Bioware developing, let's hope it won't be tragic in the sense of Shadow the Hedgehog was a tragic game.

Stay tuned for some pictures and the Press Release after the jump.
