Mass Effect Director Casey Hudson Announces New Studio Share: Ex-BioWare bigwig and Mass Effect director Casey Hudson has founded a brand-new developer. Humanoid Studios – led by the aforementioned veteran – will maintain offices in Alberta and British Columbia, where it will work on an “all-new intellectual property”. Development will be conducted using the Unreal Engine, although there aren’t any details outside of that – presumably because it’s early days and they’re yet to be decided. “Humanoid Studios is a new videogame company founded on the axiom that creative freedom and independence lead to better, more innovative games,” a mission statement at the top of each open job position reads. “We believe in the power of small, agile teams, and a flat organisational structure, where everyone is empowered to make decisions and help drive the project vision.”
