As a long-time fan of narrative-driven games, I find Adam Williams’ journey to be both inspiring and intriguing. With his ten-year stint at Quantic Dream, he played a crucial role in crafting some of the most thought-provoking experiences in Detroit: Become Human and the upcoming Star Wars Eclipse.


In a conversation with Eurogamer, Adam Williams – previously the head author for Detroit: Become Human and the forthcoming Star Wars Eclipse – has shared his future ambitions. After departing from Quantic Dream’s team, he has established his own studio.

  1. Williams worked at Quantic Dream for almost ten years. He admits that leaving the team working on a game set in the Star Wars universe wasn’t an easy decision.
  2. The developer left the studio at the beginning of 2024. Soon after, he founded his own company – Republic Games.
  3. His new studio has already found an investor and publisher in the form of Korean concern Krafton, known for PUBG: Battlegrounds and The Callisto Protocol.
  4. Williams isn’t yet ready to officially reveal the first game from Republic Games. However, he revealed a few specifics. We know it will be a dark fantasy RPG designed for mature audiences. The developer describes this project as follows:

Tolkien’s Lord of the Rings meets Orwell’s 1984.

In this game, we’ll journey into a world governed by a harsh regime that maintains control through violence and enforces its ideology upon its subjects. The rebels aim to challenge the authorities by unmasking the deceptions embedded in the teachings of these oppressive rulers.

Adam Williams posits that a substantial number of RPG enthusiasts are dissatisfied as they feel their gaming needs are not adequately catered to by the current market. These gamers seek an immersive narrative tailored to their decisions, offering them unbridled exploration and unrestricted evaluation of events, rather than being guided on how to perceive the storyline and characters. The inaugural game from Republic Games is designed with this niche audience in mind.
