Efforts to start a blaze by huffing on the embers of BioWare’s legacy continue with the announcement of Studio Reset – a new Canadian independent whose members include veterans of Mass Effect, Dragon Age, and Anthem. The key personalities are Kaelin Lavallée, lead narrative designer on Dragon Age: Inquisition (*smiles, nods) and Mass Effect Andromeda (*frowns), who has also served as a designer in different capacities on The Long Dark. Kris Schoneberg, meanwhile, is Anthem’s former creative director and a former Mass Effect level designer. Francis Lacuna, finally, is a character artist and later, character director who has worked across Dragon Age, Mass Effect and Anthem.
