Humanoid Studios’ official website was recently updated, and confirms that the developer’s debut project is going to be “a multiplatform AAA game, focusing on character-driven narrative in an all-new science-fiction universe.” Several new pieces of concept art have also been released, giving a glimpse of what sort of an aesthetic the game is going for. Check them out in the gallery below.

Hudson was at BioWare for nearly two decades, the final few years of which he spent as the company’s General Manager. In addition to creating the Mass Effect series and directing the original trilogy, he also director Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic, in addition to working on Baldur’s Gate 2, Neverwinter Nights, Jade Empire, and more.

There’s no word yet on when Humanoid Studios’ debut game will launch, or what platforms it will release for, but it’s clearly still in the early stages of production right now, so it’s likely going to be a while before we get more concrete details on the game.

Humanoid Studios is currently hiring in many positions, and the job listings reveal some interesting details about the developer, which will be operating with “a flat organizational structure” and will encourage all members of the development team to “make decisions and help drive the project vision.” The studio has offices in British Columbia and Alberta, and is going to remain flexible in terms of remote work and in-office work.

Hudson originally joined BioWare in 2000, where he went on to create the Mass Effect IP, directing all three of the games in its original trilogy. He was also involved in the development of other games like Baldur’s Gate 2, Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic, Neverwinter Nights, and Jade Empire. He left the company in 2014, but returned in 2017 as general manager, before leaving once again in late 2020.

I've been working with some colleagues on something awesome, and I wish I could tell you all about it! For now though, I can only say this…
