I’m thrilled to share some news I stumbled upon the other day. Chris Avellone—that name ring a bell? He’s been kicking around the gaming world forever—has hopped on board with Republic Games. So, Adam Williams, the guy who started the whole Republic Games adventure, spilled the beans over on LinkedIn. Something about Chris’s amazing history in games? Yeah, apparently, he’s made quite the impact.
Williams had this chat with Eurogamer—ugh, those interviews can feel so scripted sometimes. But anyway, he let slip that they’re brewing up some RPG. And not just any RPG—a labyrinth of a story, with choices and twists that might leave your head spinning. Sounds intriguing, right?
There’s this spiel about Chris being this absolute legend in RPG land. Williams was quick to say how Chris was numero uno on their wishlist. Apparently, they’re going for this dark, fantastical vibe with their upcoming game. Magical, yet gritty—I think that’s what they’re aiming for? Honestly, sometimes I get lost in these descriptions. But the excitement? Total zenith at the studio. They’re shouting from the rooftops that they’ve got their dream crew together. Updates? Soon, they promise. Hopefully, it’s worth the wait.
Oh, but here’s where things get a tad murky. Back in 2020, Avellone found himself caught up in some pretty serious accusations—yeah, about harassment. It’s messy. He denied it all, of course. Always complicated when stuff like that surfaces. Makes you think about the people behind the stories, doesn’t it?
Anyway. That’s the scoop. I’m curious to see where they’re headed next.
