New Wizards of the Coast Studio Headed BioWare Vets

The Archetype Entertainment Website is now online, unveiling details on this new game studio formed by Wizards of the Coast (thanks Polygon). This being headed up by designer James Ohlen, whose partnership with the Dungeons Dragons and Magic: The Gathering publisher was revealed last April. James is joined by fellow BioWare veteran Chad Robertson, who will serve as General Manager. Here is the new studio's mission statement saying their first project is a sci-fi RPG:
OUR GOAL IS TO CREATE THE GREATEST STORY-DRIVEN ROLEPLAYING GAMES IN THE WORLD.
Archetype Entertainment is a game development studio in Austin, Texas led by industry veterans from BioWare and other AAA studios. Founded in 2019, Archetype is an autonomous division of Wizards of the Coast. We are assembling a world-class team to build a multi-platform roleplaying game set in a new science fiction universe.

​At Archetype, we believe there will always be a place for story-driven roleplaying games that put the player at the center of an epic personal narrative with impactful choices. We are building games that represent the diversity of our audience. We also believe that game studios should empower top developers and challenge them with ambitious projects that are shaped by a strong, clearly communicated creative vision.

They are going to need more than 3-4 ex-employees from other studios & at least 5+ years to fill that goal,.....

So I look forward to seeing another announcement in 2025 .
