New Indie RTS game to be released soon


Arnie Jorgensen, Alex Thomas, and John Watson (what is being called the "Developer Trio" for Star Wars: The Old Republic), have spent the last five years working for SWTOR. So, how does a trio like this take a break after writing the largest sci-fi MMO ever? For these three, the answer is apparently to form their own company.

The Trio has opened a gaming studio called Stoic Studio (a joint venture by Jorgensen, Thomas and Watson). The company describes its mission:
It sounds like a cliche, but we're making the kind of games we'd like to play. We appreciate good art, thoughtful design and engaging story and think there are plenty gamers out there who agree.

Stoic has already announced an upcoming game called "The Banner Saga". This game, which calls itself "role-playing meets turn-based strategy", promises free multi-player combat as well as game-changing conversation options. Quoting from the studio website:
Travel through stunning landscapes straight out of an animated film as your party escapes what could be the end of everything. Battle painstakingly hand-animated foes in strategic, turn-based combat. Make decisions with real consequences in conversations with people you'll actually care about.

The Banner Saga is a mature game aimed at gamers who appreciate art, story and strategy. Hope you'll join the caravan.

There is no statement from BioWare about the departure or the new game studio, nor who will take over their development pipeline. We will bring you updates and announcements as they are available.
