Sure thing, let me take a crack at this. Here goes:
—
Okay, so Chris Avellone—yeah, that guy—he’s now with Republic Games. Adam Williams, who’s basically the brains behind Republic, just kinda dropped this bomb on LinkedIn. It’s like one of those ‘blink and you miss it’ posts, but he casually mentions Avellone’s past victories and stuff in the game world. Talks to Eurogamer, mentions they’re cooking up an RPG with a story that’s, like, all twisty and turny, tons of choices. You get it.
Williams went full fanboy, saying something like, “Chris is the man when it comes to RPGs!” Which, okay, cool, but I’ve never put anyone on a work bucket list personally. Maybe that’s just me? Anyway, he says they’re aiming to create this super moody fantasy thing. Picture dragons, dark forests, magic—just throw it all in a blender or something.
Oh, and the whole team? They’re apparently on cloud nine about this. I mean, who wouldn’t be? Dream team vibes. Though, I always wonder how genuine those internal celebrations actually are. Hmm.
Here’s a twist in the tale: back in 2020, Avellone faced some sexual harassment allegations. He says nope, not true. But yeah, that’s a part of his story now, like it or not. Just thought I’d throw that in the mix. Keep it rounded, right?
Anyway—no, seriously, where was I?—yeah, that’s the scoop for now. We’ll see what cool (or not) stuff they unveil next.
