Chris Avellone Joins Republic Games for Upcoming RPG Project

Sure, let me rework that for you:

So, here’s a bit of news that might make you perk up, or maybe roll your eyes—depends on your vibe today. Chris Avellone, yeah, that guy who’s been around forever in the gaming world, just teamed up with Republic Games. Spotted this gem on LinkedIn, where Adam Williams, the big cheese over there, spilled the beans. Chris joining up was like their moment of triumph or whatever. Anyway, they’re knee-deep in crafting some RPG that’s supposed to blow our minds—a story that’s all twisty and turny with choices galore. Honestly, sounds like they’re aiming for epic but I guess we’ll see.

Adam’s post kind of reads like he’s fangirling a bit (we’ve all been there, no judgment). Called Chris a “master of interactive storytelling” which, okay, fair enough. The dude’s got credits on some big-name games. Doesn’t everyone just want to work with their heroes? He’s really hyped about this dark fantasy twist they’re brewing up—thinking of classics but with, I dunno, extra spice? No clue how they’ll pull it off.

But hold on. Quick side note: Remember when Chris was in hot water back in 2020? Accusations flying around, which he totally denies. Messy stuff. Anyway, Republic Games is hyped, talking about building this “dream team” — I guess stay tuned for what they whip up.

Got me curious at least, but who knows how it’ll shake out. Fingers crossed for something cool. Or not. Depends on how you feel about these things.
