Tibby Joins Epic Baltimore
This tweet should be relevant to the interests of every fan of Ultima V: Lazarus:
I’m pleased to announce that next week I’m officially starting my new job with Epic Baltimore.
Time to get back to making games!

Ian “Tiberius” Frazier, former Game Director at Big Huge Games, has signed on with Epic Baltimore (the working name of Epic Games’ new action-RPG — or so the rumour mill states — studio located in Baltimore and comprised of a large number of former Big Huge Games developers) in an as-yet unspecified role. No word yet on what IP or title the fledgling studio will be working on, but Tibby assures people on Twitter that it’ll be awesome.
That’s great news. I hope everyone else on the former team soon finds equal security as well. I’ve been laid off twice prior to whole-company implosions (though not in the games industry), and it’s pretty shitty and disillusioning. Best of luck Ian, and take no prisoners.
