Archetype Entertainment is a brand new game development studio from the makers of Dungeons and Dragons, Wizards of the Coast. The Austin based company is made up of veterans who worked at BioWare, and now they’re working on a sci-fi roleplaying game.
The team consists of the head of studio James Ohlen and general manager Chad Robertson so far. However, Archetype is looking to hire other members to flesh out their unannounced science fiction RPG.
They didn’t release any details about what to expect from the game, but coming from the makers of Mass Effect, Anthem, and KOTOR, fans can understand what to expect.
Archetype’s website does feature a few pictures showcasing a futuristic city that looks like it belongs in the Star Trek universe. The company released a statement on Twitter saying,
Excited to be working with @JamesOhlen again at our new studio, Archetype Entertainment. Early days, but we already have a super-star team forming and look forward to sharing more on what we’re building. https://t.co/nZvXKVbSUu

Ohlen was the creative director and lead designer on Star Wars: The Old Republic, Baldur’s Gate 1 and 2, Neverwinter Nights, and Dragon Age. He worked at BioWare for 22 years before leaving in 2018 to found Archetype in 2019.
Robertson was the head of live services for Anthem before leaving last October.
Here’s hoping we learn more about Archetype Entertainment’s upcoming game sometime in the near future.
