Career

Quantic Dream Williams' background is in television writing but he was interested in the interactive storytelling and choice-based narrative of video games, and the numerous outcomes that arise from those decisions as opposed to linear narratives. He communicated with Quantic Dream's founder David Cage to ask questions about the video game industry. The correspondences developed into a formal job offering, which Williams accepted.

Republic Games In August 2024, Williams posted on LinkedIn that, after 10 years and being the head writer of the upcoming title, Star Wars: Eclipse, he had left Quantic Dream to form his own company. Though Williams departed the company and his role, Quantic Dream stated Star Wars: Eclipse "still exists" when the departure was announced.

In November 2024, Williams announced the founding of Republic Games, with the financial backing of South Korean video game publisher Krafton. The company’s first project is a dystopian fantasy game described as "A tyrannical regime is brutally enforcing its ideology and crushing all dissent. But a faction of rebels seeks to overturn the tyrants and expose the lies at the heart of their doctrine." Video game and role-playing game writer Chris Avellone is also working on the project.
