Some more screens have popped up for the upcoming Sonic RPG, these ones displaying the team in some kind snow world. They can be found via the source article.

Chronicles is set two years after Sonic's last defeat of Dr. Eggman (Dr. Robotnik as some prefer), and does not return as a villain in this one. The story begins such that Sonic gets a call from Tails who says that Knuckles has been kidnapped by the Marauders, and that six chaos emeralds are missing (quite a job keeping those safe).

The game is set to be released in Europe this June, and in the fall for North America.

There are two acts, one taking place in the standard Sonic universe and another in a darker, more mysterious world. In addition, there is talk of a “twist” between Sonic and Dr. Eggman, something that alludes to their encounters in previous games.

Sonic Chronicles: Dark Brotherhood will make extensive use of the stylus and touch screen in controlling Sonic and his pals (Phantom Hourglass-stylee, we imagine), but also to interact with a variety of context-sensitive elements.

Chronicles combat will be a turn-based affair similar to Mario and Luigi’s past RPG efforts.
