Former BioWare developers launching their own studios may not be the biggest news of all time—lots of them have done it, to varying degrees of success—but the premise of the debut project in the works at Studio Reset has me intrigued: It's "a neon-noir supernatural mystery game set in a stylized Canadian cityscape." It's not a sequence of words that goes together in that particular order very often, and it's pushing my buttons.
Studio Reset was founded by Kaelin Lavallée, Kris Schoneberg, and Francis Lacuna, all of them veterans of multiple BioWare blockbusters ranging from the original Mass Effect to Anthem. Their ambition for the new operation is a "smaller, more intentional" approach to making games, though, with a focus on original ideas, sustainability, and "experiences shaped around the players they are made for."
