According to a report from Eurogamer, Corinne Busche, the director of Dragon Age: The Veilguard, is bidding farewell to BioWare and EA after an impressive 18-year stint with the company.
Busche shared some insights about her decision to leave, revealing that she will soon take on a new challenge in the form of developing a CRPG, one so enticing that she “couldn’t turn down” the offer. While she didn’t reveal exact details about her future role or the specifics of the project, her excitement was palpable.
In her statement, Busche explained, “This decision ultimately comes down to my personal fulfillment. I accomplished my mission at BioWare, which was to contribute to getting things back on track. The opportunity to help elevate Dragon Age back to a top-tier single-player RPG was a dream come true for me.”
Reflecting on the journey, she added, “The road was tough, especially given the turbulent development cycles we faced. Projects often don’t even get to see the light of day, let alone reach the quality we strived for. Yet, we made it happen as a cohesive team. It was undoubtedly a demanding endeavor that took its toll on me. BioWare still has cultural challenges ahead, but I genuinely believe they are moving in the right direction.”
Busche emphasized that her departure was on her own terms, driven by “an opportunity I couldn’t turn down.” Though she remained tight-lipped about the details, she assured, “Expect something magnificent within the CRPG realm that champions rich character development.”
During her tenure, aside from her work on Dragon Age: The Veilguard, Busche also contributed significantly to several EA initiatives, including multiple expansions for The Sims 3, as well as work on The Sims 4 and The Simpsons.
When Dragon Age: The Veilguard launched last year, it generally garnered positive acclaim, fetching an impressive score of 82 on Metacritic. However, it wasn’t all smooth sailing, as some segments of the gaming community launched a review-bombing campaign, labeling the game as “woke.” Metacritic responded by affirming its commitment to monitoring and moderating such activities to prevent violations of their terms of use.
