BioWare, the renowned video game studio, recently disclosed its plans for Sonic Chronicles 2, the unreleased sequel to Sonic Chronicles: The Dark Brotherhood. Lead designer Miles Holmes shed light on the storyline that the studio had envisioned for the game, finally putting an end to years of speculation.
The original Sonic Chronicles game concluded with a cliffhanger, leaving players eager for a continuation of the story. Sonic Chronicles 2 was intended to pick up right where its predecessor left off – in a world dominated by the villainous Dr. Eggman. Holmes shared in an interview with Did You Know Gaming that the sequel would have explored a dystopian future, where Eggman had unleashed chaos and reshaped the world according to his desires.
Describing the setting, Holmes drew comparisons to iconic films like Back to the Future 2 and Terminator 2: Judgment Day. He explained that players would have witnessed the consequences of Eggman’s unopposed rule, with ordinary citizens turned into prisoners or slaves under his oppressive regime. Additionally, the game would have featured well-known landmarks, such as the Eiffel Tower in Paris, reimagined with Eggman’s influence.
The main objective of Sonic Chronicles 2 would have been to assemble an army by freeing captive populations to challenge Eggman’s dominance and restore harmony to the world. However, a surprising twist awaited players towards the end. The mythical character Argus, hinted at in the original game, would emerge as a formidable threat. Sonic and Eggman, unlikely allies, would have joined forces to defeat this powerful entity.
Sonic Chronicles 2 also aimed to delve into the concept of prophecies, introducing an oracle who had deceived Argus into believing his demise would come at the hands of a mortal. This narrative thread could have opened doors for future installments exploring the repercussions of the trickery.
Despite the exciting prospect of a Sonic Chronicles sequel, legal complications hindered its development. Former Archie head writer Ken Penders filed lawsuits claiming that certain characters in the game resembled his creations from the Archie comics. Although Penders’s case was eventually dismissed, it took several years for the situation to reach a resolution, effectively derailing any chances of a sequel.
