"Sonic Chronicles: The Dark Brotherhood" is an RPG being developed by famed Canadian RPG developer BioWare (Baldur's Gate, Neverwinter Nights) for the Nintendo DS. It is scheduled for a 2008 release in North America and Europe. No Japanese release date has yet been specified.

Recent information has been revealed about the game in a Nintendo Power article. The information goes as follows:

- In game graphics have a water color look, all hand drawn - 4 party members at a time - Each character can do certain things ex: Tails can float over things - 11 party members total - 7 known are Sonic, Tails, Amy, Knuckles, Rouge, Shadow, Big the Cat - Control done fully with stylus - Able to split party into teams at certain moments - Rings are used as currency - No random battles, see enemies on the field - Turn based battles, choose commands for everyone in your party before they actually follow through. Want battles to be fast paced - Team attacks - "Fatigue Points" instead of MP - Choose which attributes to increase when you level up - Purchase and level special attacks - 2 acts - first takes place in standard Sonic areas. 2nd takes place in a darker world - Remixed classic tunes - "fully animated cut scenes" - simple dialogue trees - Side quests - Classic levels revisited ex: Green Hill Zone and Mystic Ruins

Currently known story: Sonic's on vacation from defeating Eggman 2 years ago. Gets a call from Tails that Knuckles has been kidnapped by a group called the Marauders, and that 6 chaos emeralds are missing. Eggman not the main villain. But Bioware wants to make him a creditable bad guy again. Something about a "twist" between Eggman and Sonic that goes back to the earlier games.
