Sure, here it is:

So, get this. Chris Avellone—yeah, the RPG wizard himself—somehow landed a gig with Republic Games. I stumbled across it on LinkedIn while I was probably supposed to be doing something more productive. You ever notice how these announcements sort of just appear when you’re in the middle of trying to remember why you opened the app in the first place? Anyway, Adam Williams, the guy who started the studio, spilled the beans.
Apparently, they’re cooking up an RPG that’s supposed to have this deep, twisty-turny story. You know, the kind with branching paths and endings that make you question your life choices. Williams was practically fanboying over Avellone, calling him the GOAT of RPG storytelling. Honestly, might’ve done a double-take there—not gonna lie.
“Chris shaped the golden age of RPGs,” he said. Something about crafting a dark fantasy narrative that’s super immersive. They’re aiming to bring back that old-school magic… and maybe even level it up. I mean, who wouldn’t wanna replay their favorite RPGs and feel that nostalgia hit you in the face? Makes me wanna dig out my old games, if only I could remember where I stashed them.
And the team is buzzing with excitement. Like, dream-team kind of buzz. More updates are supposed to come soon, but let’s see what that really means. Isn’t it funny how ‘soon’ can mean anything from next week to whenever they get around to it?
Oh, and before I forget, back in 2020, there were some not-so-great headlines about Avellone. Accusations of sexual harassment popped up, which he’s flat out denied. That’s a whole other story—one I’m not diving into today.
