SAN FRANCISCO & LONDON (June 21, 2007)—SEGA© of America, Inc., SEGA® Europe, Ltd., and Canada-based developer studio BioWare® Corp. today announced a partnership to create a new video game based on the classic SEGA flagship icon Sonic The Hedgehog. The exact name of the game is undetermined, and it will ship in 2008.

“BioWare is one of the hottest names in RPG development in the world,” said Simon Jeffery, President and COO, SEGA of America, Inc. “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.”

Somebody pinch me here. And I thought the whole Mario and Sonic At The Olympic Games item was a real funky ordeal, but holy crap does this take the motherfuckin’ chocolate cakes of them all. Sonic the Hedgehog games haven’t been so hot for the past few years, so it’s great to see a well-known developer like Bioware get their hands dirty with one of my all-time favorite franchises. And it’s gonna be a RPG! Bioware congregate role-playing games in their sleep.

God, the Furry Communities must be dancing in the rain right now at the sound of this news.
