This RPG features heavyweights from the industry and seems to be a project to keep an eye on

Republic Games, a new development studio founded in 2024 by Adam Williams, former head of development for titles like Detroit: Become Human and Star Wars Eclipse, has announced its ambitious first project: a dark mature fantasy RPG, backed by Krafton. This game is inspired by what Williams describes as the golden age of RPGs, promising a rich and complex experience.

A highlighted element in this development is the inclusion of Chris Avellone, a renowned designer behind iconic works such as Fallout: New Vegas and Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic II. Williams emphasized that the game will offer an intriguing narrative, set in a totalitarian world facing a rebellion, where players can choose to join different factions and define their own destinies as heroes or anti-heroes.

The proposal from Republic Games includes a plot with a prophetic and supernatural background that promises to take the adventure to a mythological level. Additionally, the game will feature classic RPG elements, such as strategic combat, character creation, recruitable companions, and romance options, all within a cutting-edge interactive narrative.

Despite the controversial recent years in Avellone’s career, who was accused of sexual harassment in 2020 but won his lawsuit in 2023, he has expressed his enthusiasm for collaborating on this new project. In his own words, Avellone believes that being part of this from the beginning is quite amazing and is a rare opportunity in the industry. This collaboration has generated expectations in the gaming community, who are eager to see how this game, which promises to combine tradition and modernity in its design, will develop.
