A recent US Patent hints that Bioware's upcoming RPG may be called 'Sonic Chronicles', it has emerged.
There is little information other than a filing for the name by Sega, and the connection to the unnamed role-playing game is based purely on the lack of new announced Sonic games in the pipeline.
The name has also been used by blogger and tipster Surfer Girl, who has decried the game to be the most inspired game in the Sonic franchise in years. Given some of the mediocre offerings in the franchise as of late, this comes as little surprise.
In related news, Sega has also filed a patent on something known as The Dark Brotherhood, a title which Surfer Girl claims is an action-RPG. Our money is going on it being the unannounced Sega project from Obsidian.
As a sidenote, we happen to think Sonic Chronicles and The Dark Brotherhood are some of the most uninspired titles we've heard in quite a while.
