Azra Games, the game development dojo helmed by industry vet Mark Otero, just got a major XP boost in their quest to serve up unforgettable RPGs. Justin Jones, the former creative force behind EA’s most lucrative mobile title, Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes, has joined Azra Games as the VP of Game Design.
Role in Project Legends: Crafting a New Realm of Battle
Jones’ main objective? Overseeing Project Legends, Azra Games’ in-the-works action RPG set in a sci-fi fantasy universe. The game promises players a unique experience of commanding Legends and engineering monstrous war machines. Yep, sounds like some next-level grind is on the horizon.
An Epic Questline in Game Design
This isn’t Jones’ first rodeo. With a career spanning over 15 years, he’s designed various game genres including RPG, collectible, and strategy titles. Notable works include Dragon Age, Game of Thrones, and of course, Star Wars. The man’s influence in Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes helped rake in an insane $1.5 billion in lifetime revenue. That’s not just a high score; that’s the leaderboard.
Skills and Experience: A Wide Inventory
Jones’ portfolio isn’t just limited to mainstream titles. He’s rolled with heavy-hitters like Disney, BioWare, and HBO, but he’s also seasoned in the indie scene. Remember Battle Nations from Z2? That was him too. Before joining Azra, Jones leveled up his career as VP of Creative at Scopely and co-founded Moon Tavern Games, where he aimed to resurrect the golden age of mobile RPGs and adventure games.
The Power Combo: Mark Otero Weighs In
Mark Otero, the big boss at Azra Games, didn’t mince words about the acquisition. According to Otero, adding Jones to the squad is like finding a legendary item drop — a perfect blend of experience and intricate knowledge in creating RPGs that have captivated millions. The global release of Project Legends in 2025 just got a lot more hyped.
A New Quest Begins for Justin Jones
As for Jones himself? The man’s pumped to be surrounded by a guild of seasoned RPG creators, many of whom he’s already fought alongside in previous quests. His aim? To create the kind of Hero Collector RPGs that aren’t just games, but sagas. At Azra Games, he sees a future where gamers don’t just play but live in the stories crafted by the studio.
In the ever-evolving landscape of gaming, the alliance between Azra Games and Justin Jones promises a bright future for RPG fans. With the stakes this high, one thing’s for sure: The game has changed, but it’s far from over.
