Summary
Wheel of Time owner, iwot Studios, has expanded its games division with the appointment of three industry veterans to its Montreal-based studio, in a bid to build a “world-class leadership team” for its upcoming role-playing game.
The company is building a team of 200 to 300 people to make a AAA open world RPG which is set in The Wheel of Time universe.
The appointments include Lori Hyrup as studio design director, John Lindemuth as studio art director, and Steve Gray as studio technology director, who will work under Craig Alexander, who was recently made studio head.
iwot Studios’ games division was launched in April, shortly after the company’s BAFTA-nominated Wheel of Time television series was cancelled by Amazon’s Prime Video following its third season.
Despite this, iwot Studios has affirmed its commitment to the franchise with the upcoming origin film Age of Legends, and the new unnanounced RPG title.
