Dragon Age: The Veilguard Director Leaves BioWare
Dragon Age: The Veilguard director Corinne Busche has announced that she is leaving BioWare Edmonton. Busche, who joined the studio in 2006 and has worked on many important projects, said goodbye to BioWare after an 18-year career at the studio for “an opportunity she couldn’t refuse.” Busche stated that her departure was her own decision, describing her time at BioWare as “righting a ship” and saying that returning the Dragon Age series to a quality single-player RPG format was one of the greatest privileges of her life.
Dragon Age: The Veilguard and the Future of BioWare
Corinne Busche’s departure comes after developments in Dragon Age: The Veilguard. The game saw promising sales figures at first, but it failed to achieve the expected success in the long term. According to a report by GamesIndustry.biz, sales lagged behind rival games such as Final Fantasy 7: Rebirth and Dragon’s Dogma 2. Speaking about the challenging development process of the game, Busche said that the studio still needs to evolve culturally, but that it is moving in the right direction.
BioWare is known for major franchises like Dragon Age and Mass Effect, but in recent years, new games in these series have received mixed reactions. The sales performance of Dragon Age: The Veilguard may have put pressure on the studio. BioWare, which continues to work on the new game in the Mass Effect series, must once again meet the expectations of fans.
Busche did not give any details about his new project after his departure, but he did say that it will be in the CRPG genre and “continue the tradition of creating great characters.” This statement has created excitement among fans, and considering Busche’s experience in the RPG genre, it is likely that his new project will be highly anticipated.
While the future of Dragon Age: The Veilguard and BioWare remains uncertain, Corinne Busche’s new project could make a significant impact on the RPG world. RPG fans are eagerly awaiting both BioWare’s and Busche’s next steps.
