Chris Avellone, who became a pariah in the videogame industry following accusations of sexual misconduct in 2020 that were ultimately resolved in his favor, has joined new studio Republic Games, which was founded in 2024 by former Quantic Dream lead writer Adam Williams.
"Chris has written, created, and designed for some of the greatest RPGs of all time," Williams wrote on LinkedIn. "He’s a master of interactive storytelling. On our list of people to work with, he was at the top."
