Former BioWare Developer Heads New Game Studio

The Ex-BioWare Developer Is Working on an Unreal Engine 4 Game

The former general manager of BioWareโ€™s Edmonton-based studio will be leading a new Edmonton game development studio for the games company Improbable, according to a Friday announcement.

Improbable is the creator of SpatialOS, which is a โ€œcloud platform for real-time multiplayer gamesโ€, according to the companyโ€™s official website.

โ€œI was interested in making a game using SpatialOS from the very first time I spoke to Improbable,โ€ the former BioWare manager, Aaryn Flynn, said. โ€œBuilding tools and content has been a great way for our Edmonton team to master SpatialOS, but a full game was always an opportunity myself and others had in mind as the Edmonton studio took shape. Now, after a lot of great hires and great progress, weโ€™re going to focus on creating that game using Unreal Engine 4 and building on SpatialOSโ€™ next-generation online games platform.โ€

โ€œWeโ€™ve grown fast but weโ€™re still looking for additional team members in Engineering, Art, Design and QA to build out our team further,โ€ he added. โ€œAs things progress, weโ€™re excited to show you more in the future.โ€

Improbable also announced a new studio in London which will be headed by John Wasilczyk, a former executive producer at EA and Epic Games.

More info about Improbableโ€™s recent foray into game development will be revealed at GDC 2019, which starts on March 18th.
