It has, to address the elephant in the room, been a trying period for his new employer. BioWare does not often employ remote workers, and almost never remote writers: the people who lay down the earliest brushstrokes of a game's world and its characters during the earliest and most formative of its stages.Īll the better for us, though, that we could catch up with Kennedy and see how things were going. He is British, based in Greenwich, and has not relocated for the job. BioWare is a Canadian company, headquartered in Edmonton. But Kennedy himself had secured a unique position. Sure, it was tacit confirmation the Dragon Age team was beginning to staff up. His appointment was notable for a couple of reasons. To BioWare watchers, it was obvious what project the writer was joining. Last September, Fallen London and Sunless Sea creator Alexis Kennedy announced his signing to a mysterious BioWare project - one which would see him working alongside Dragon Age mastermind Mike Laidlaw and lead Dragon Age scribe Patrick Weekes. The project doesn't yet have a name or a formal announcement, but its existence should come as no surprise.

BioWare's next Dragon Age game is supposed to be a secret - but it isn't, really.
