The Gaming Giant Recruits Apex Legends Developer to Revitalize Challenged Hero Shooter Project Ethos
The renowned publisher has secured a seasoned producer from Respawn Entertainment to lead the studio crew at their internal studio, which is currently crafting the upcoming third-person roguelike extraction-shooter known as this innovative game.
Management Transition Follows Lukewarm Feedback
The new appointee takes on the leadership position at 31st Union following the dismissal of previous head Michael Condrey, who was reportedly let go due to Project Ethos' disappointing initial reveal last fall.
On Wednesday, the company's top executive David Ismailer notified team members about this decision through an internal memo, which highlighted that playtesting had revealed the need for a distinct direction.
The president expressed that the developers is now reimagining Project Ethos with a refreshed approach, aiming to address community desires.
A Pattern of Key Hires
The news mirrors a comparable action taken by 2K Games in the summer, when they hired an industry veteran from Blizzard to contribute to the BioShock development group.
Below is the entire message from the president's memo:
Team—
I understand you all just wrapped up your gathering - I trust you’re as enthusiastic as I am with the good news. Previously I shared you all a message, I expressed the following: “I am confident in this group. You all are some of the most dedicated and innovative developers we have had the pleasure to work with - and we’re looking forward for that partnership to continue.”
Through your commitment and adaptability, especially over the past twelve months, you continue to prove that.
The gamer responses from last fall’s the game demo was enlightening. It affirmed the potential of a roguelike shooter but made clear we still had refinements needed. It uncovered the necessity for a sharper identity.
The progress is encouraging to see how far you’ve come. You embraced the input to mind and overhauled Project ETHOS with a revitalized direction - one that’s ready to fulfill its potential to our fans.
Our confidence in Project ETHOS strengthens every day. To advance the incredible progress you’ve made, It is a pleasure to welcome Ben Brinkman as the new Lead of the team. Following a period of conversations, he comes aboard us on the specified date.
His management and expertise in the PVP shooter genre is extensive, having devoted the past decade and a half developing and leading some of the most recognizable series in the industry, including the acclaimed shooter, and most recently, Apex Legends.
I invite you all in welcoming Ben soon. We are all eager to keep seeing the development of Project ETHOS in the months to ahead.
David

Game Information and Vision
The upcoming game was announced in last year together with a public demo. At the time, 31st Union described the game as a "no-cost, third-person perspective roguelike hero shooter and an innovative evolution on the category."
"Create your ideal gameplay session—or face defeat—in this engaging over-the-shoulder adventure! Build your hero in real-time to suit your personal playstyle," the game's pitch explains.
