Yellow Brick Games will show their first game, a Fantasy Action RPG, this year

[Fenton]

Mike Laidlaw, best known as the creative director of the Dragon Age franchise, has started a studio with three other designers who have worked on some of AAA video gaming’s biggest series over the past decade.

Laidlaw will join Ubisoft veterans Thomas Giroux (The Crew), Jeff Skalski, and Frederic St.-Laurent B. (both Assassin’s Creed Syndicate) in founding Yellow Brick Games, “an independent studio dedicated to making original, new games of high quality,” the studio said in a news release. Yellow Brick Games will be based in Quebec City.

This is another one of those smaller studios formed from ex-triple A employees.
They're from Québec City, so I assume there's going to be quite a lot of ex-Ubisoft employees working there.

I wish them well. Competition is fierce and funding is fairly low at the moment, so there's no net that will come and save many of those if their first game should flop/underperform.
