Sonic Chronicles dev shares story details on sequel that never came to be
Posted on 9 months ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in DS, News | 0 comments
BioWare had ideas for Sonic Chronicles 2 back in the day, but the sequel never materialized. However, lead designer Miles Holmes has now shared details about what the studio had in mind for the story.
For those that never played Sonic Chronicles: The Dark Brotherhood on DS, that game actually ended with a cliffhanger. The sequel would have picked up right where things left off with Eggman taking over the world, and BioWare had planned certain plot points that would leave the door open to even more games.

SEGA has shared with us some Switch-specific screenshots from Sonic Superstars.
This comes as a bit surprise as we usually have to wait quite a bit to see how some multiplatform titles are shaping up on Nintendo’s console. The wait can sometimes be so long that fans don’t have a good idea until launch. This is actually something that recently happened with LEGO 2K Drive since all assets were not from the Switch version.

According to Sonic series producer Takashi Iizuka, Arzest is leading development on Sonic Superstars.
