It’s three weeks until EA closes BioWare, and while fans spent much of the past weekend celebrating and fighting for the company’s legacy on N7 Day, many developers who have walked through the RPG studio’s doors over its 31 years are now working on new projects you might be interested in.

Below is an incomplete list of some of the projects ex-BioWare developers are currently working on. If you’re a BioWare alumnus with something in the works you’d like to add, feel free to send an email to kshepard@kotaku.com with the subject line “Ex-BioWare Project: [Name of thing],” including details about your role at BioWare and the games you worked on while at the company, and I’ll add it as soon as I’m able.

Star Wars: Fate of the Old Republic

Casey Hudson, director of the original Mass Effect trilogy, is currently working on Star Wars: Fate of the Old Republic. The game was announced at last year’s Game Awards and is an action RPG in development at Arcanaut Studios, which has several BioWare veterans on staff.

Exodus

Archetype Entertainment is a studio founded by ex-BioWare developers James Ohlen, Chad Robertson, and Drew Karpyshyn, and it’s working on its own sci-fi shooter RPG called Exodus, which is due out on April 7.

Among Us Story: On Guard

Trick Weekes, writer on the Mass Effect trilogy and the latter two Dragon Age games, is now a writer on Among Us Story: On Guard, an upcoming narrative adventure game set in Innersloth’s social deduction series.

The Concierge

North Mist Studios is an indie studio composed of BioWare veterans that is currently rolling out The Concierge, an audio drama about “near-future Canadian spies and assassins.” You can find it streaming wherever you get your podcasts.

The Expanse: Osiris Reborn

Pathfinder and Warhammer 40k developer Owlcat Studios is working on an action RPG set in the Expanse universe, and David Gaider, the lead writer on the first three Dragon Age games, has confirmed he has assisted on the narrative side of things.

Spirit Crossing

Spirit Crossing appeared in last month’s Indie World showcase, and the cozy MMO has Emily C. Taylor, a senior designer on Anthem and lead designer on Dragon Age: The Veilguard, working on it.

Project D

Jon Renish, who left BioWare in 2023 as a technical director, is working on Half-Mermaid’s upcoming Project D, which has a lot of its details currently redacted on places like Steam, but we do know it’s going to be a horror game of some kind.

Camera Anima

Camera Anima is a point-and-click visual novel about a woman “trying to save her twin from a soul-stealing automaton.” It’s currently in development by EXP-resso Mutt, which includes Domini Gee, who worked with support team Keyword Studios on Dragon Age: The Veilguard.

Dogs Playing Dead

Tobyn Manthorpe, an artist and art manager at BioWare from 1997 to 2007, is working on a solo project called Dogs Playing Dead, which is described as “equal parts boardgame, arcade, and third-person shooter.”

The Eventide

The Eventide is the debut project from Studio Reset, a team made up of BioWare veterans. The game is a supernatural mystery in which player choices can affect what they find in their investigations.

Threads of Time

Andrew Oatway, former business intelligence developer at BioWare, is working as a principal game designer on turn-based RPG Threads of Time.

Hunter: The Reckoning – Deathwish

Studios working on secret stuff

• Broadcast Games: A team working on “friendslop” games co-founded by ex-BioWare cinematic designer Ken Thain.

• Iron Goblin: A team developing a cooperative RPG and “bringing creative expression to players and giving them the means to tell their own stories in an excitingly social fantasy realm.”
