[QUOTE="Admin, post: 64061, member: 1"] Sonic Team studio head Takashi Iizuka wants to make a Sonic the Hedgehog role-playing game "at some point" before he retires from Sega. In an interview with [URL='https://youtu.be/wNeWQbiawnk?si=GAImFL7nMFJ79F0D&t=710']Good Vibes Gaming[/URL], Iizuka was asked if he would work on a Sonic RPG in the future, and said he was interested in doing so and shocked Sonic Team had yet to do it. "Personally, I really like role-playing games," Iizuka said. "The RPG game format is a lot of fun, and I've even thought to myself, 'You know, for the past 30 years, we haven't done a Sonic RPG.' And I'm questioning myself. 'Why haven't we done a Sonic RPG in all this time? How have we gotten to 30 years with no RPGs?!'" Iizuka said he would "hopefully" get to work on a Sonic RPG before he retires from Sega, but made clear there was nothing "concrete" at this time. "So, I'd like to hopefully work on a Sonic RPG at some point before I retire from Sega," he said. "But you know, that's just a dream right now. There are no concrete plans at this point." The only Sonic RPG released so far was [URL='https://www.ign.com/games/sonic-chronicles-the-dark-brotherhood']Sonic Chronicles: The Dark Brotherhood[/URL], a 2008 Nintendo DS game.
