Major projects include the action RPG Star Wars: Fate of the Old Republic, developed by Arcanaut Studios. Casey Hudson, former director of the Mass Effect trilogy, along with other BioWare veterans, contributed to the title. Archetype Entertainment, founded by James Ohlen, Chad Robertson, and Drew Karpyshyn, is developing the sci-fi RPG shooter EXODUS™, which some consider a spiritual successor to Mass Effect.

During Owlcat Games' development of The Expanse: A Telltale Series - Osiris Reborn, David Gaider, lead writer for the first three Dragon Age titles, assisted with the game's narrative. Trick Weekes wrote the story for Among Us Story: Alert, and former designers from Anthem and Dragon Age: The Veilguard were also among the team members working on Soul Crossing.

The list also includes the horror project D Project, the supernatural detective game Twilight Tide, as well as several RPGs, visual novels, and co-op games. Some former BioWare members have shifted their focus to audio dramas and science fiction novels. This list serves as an overview of talent and projects and does not imply that all related titles were announced on the same day.
