Games made from the old bioware people who left / were fired.

Several developers and writers who left or were let go from BioWare before and around the release of Dragon Age 2 have gone on to work on a variety of notable RPGs and other games, contributing to studios known for narrative depth and complex storytelling. Here’s an extended list:

David Gaider – A lead writer for Dragon Age: Origins, Gaider created some of the series' most beloved characters, like Morrigan and Alistair. After leaving BioWare in 2016, he co-founded Summerfall Studios, where he’s working on Stray Gods: The Roleplaying Musical, a narrative-heavy, musical RPG inspired by Greek mythology.

Mike Laidlaw – He served as a creative director on Dragon Age and left BioWare in 2017. Afterward, he contributed to The Waylanders, an RPG inspired by Celtic mythology, but left the project before its final release.

James Ohlen – A long-time BioWare creative director who worked on Baldur’s Gate, Neverwinter Nights, and Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic, Ohlen left to found his own studio, Archetype Entertainment. This studio, backed by Wizards of the Coast, aims to create sci-fi RPGs drawing on BioWare’s legacy.

Drew Karpyshyn – Known for his writing in Mass Effect and Knights of the Old Republic, Karpyshyn joined Archetype Entertainment along with Ohlen. Their new project, yet to be named, is a narrative-driven RPG.

Mary Kirby – A writer on Dragon Age: Origins who created Varric and contributed to Dragon Age II, Kirby was let go in 2023 as part of BioWare’s restructuring. Her next moves are currently unknown, but her depth of experience makes her a sought-after talent in RPG writing.

Ben Gelinas – Former Dragon Age producer and writer, Gelinas left BioWare to join Humanoid Studios, which was founded by ex-BioWare General Manager Casey Hudson. Hudson’s new team aims to develop fresh, story-rich gaming experiences.

After reading this I had to do a little research, and so far, I've seen only two titles from these people yet to be released.

From James Ohlen and Drew Karpyshyn, both working on Archetype, the videogame Exodus, a sci-fi ARPG. You can register on the website to obtain a few cosmetics in-game and news.

And from Mike Laidlaw, the video game Eternal Strands is pretty close to being released and looks really fun.

I can't find anything from the others, but I'm looking forward to it.

Exodus looks fantastic. There is a tie in novel available now, but I can't remember the name.
