Chris Avellone Joins Republic Games for Upcoming RPG Project

Alright, hang on a sec—so, guess what? Chris Avellone, the guy who’s been around the block a few times in the game industry, just jumped ship to Republic Games. Yeah, I know, it sounds like just another day at the office, but there’s more. I stumbled upon this on LinkedIn—of all places, right? Adam Williams, the guy running the show over there, spilled the beans. He’s got this whole spiel about Chris’s success—like the dude’s basically a rock star in game dev.

And get this—Eurogamer got a little more scoop. Williams is yakking about some RPG they’re cooking up. It’s supposed to have this wild story with tons of choices. I might be exaggerating but they’re thinking multiple endings and everything. Sounds ambitious, doesn’t it? But hey, no risk, no story, I guess.

Williams didn’t hold back on the hype train. He’s gushing on LinkedIn about how Chris has worked on, like, the best RPGs ever. Apparently, he’s a wizard at crafting stories you can actually play. They’re aiming for some dark fantasy vibe. Honestly, feels like they’re trying to bring back that RPG golden era magic. Who knows? Maybe they’ll pull it off and then some.

Everyone at the studio is buzzing, or so Adam says. It’s like they’ve assembled the Avengers of game design. Dream team, or so they claim. Man, I’d love to be a fly on the wall there. More updates promised, as usual. Let’s hope it’s sooner rather than later.

Oh, and quick side note—yeah, there’s a bit of controversy surrounding Chris. Back in 2020, some sexual harassment allegations popped up. He denies it all, but it’s there, hanging over, like a dark cloud. Anyway, load of drama in the dev world, what else is new? Let’s see where this ride takes us.
