This feels like a pretty wild update. Buried Giant Games apparently includes Josh Yearsley who designed the soon to be released Root expansion, as well as Ted Caya who had left Leder separately some time previously. I really hope it is as amicable as they say and that both studios have good things ahead.

An Important Update about the Future of Arcs
Dear Backers,
I have some important news for you all. Kyle and I will be leaving Leder Games and starting a new company, Buried Giant Studios. This separation is amicable, and we wish the best of luck to our friends at Leder Games.
If you’d like to read more about the separation, check out my statement here. You can check our new company’s website here.
As part of this separation, Buried Giant Studios has purchased both Arcs and Oath from Leder Games. Going forward, any support inquiries regarding Arcs should be directed to hello@buriedgiant.com.
Finally, I’m happy to announce that the new company’s first project will be an Arcs expansion. We’ll have a lot more to share about the project soon, but if you want to be notified of its launch, click here!
I thought I liked Leder Games. Turns out I mainly just love Kyle's art. Besides Root, I've never played any of the games Leder is holding on to.
I think I'm almost the opposite in some ways; I learnt to love Kyle's art because I loved Root. I see the light now, his art is so refreshing compared to many other game designs, but I'm actually quite excited to see what Leder comes out with now without the pressure to use Kyle again.
I'm a big fan of Root, Oath, and Arcs. I haven't played Vast, Fort, or Ahoy, though.
