Dragon Age: The Veilguard’s Turbulent Development Discussed by BioWare Studio Head

Dragon Age: The Veilguard has just been released and is already off to a great start. It's been blowing up on social media and has received nonstop buzz online. At the moment, it has a Mostly Positive review rating on Steam. This game has been wanted by Dragon Age fans for a long time, as Dragon Age: Inquisition was released in 2014, making it a whopping 10-year wait for Dragon Age: The Veilguard.

The latest game in the Dragon Age franchise had been in development for years by 2020 and was in deep water by that point. It had been rebooted from a single-player game into a live-service game with heavy multiplayer elements, a component often seen in recent EA games, including games like Anthem. As we already reported at the time, some employees within the company were referring to the next Dragon Age game as "Anthem with dragons." Once Gary McKay took over in 2020, he was determined to make sure that the same mistakes were not made when creating Dragon Age: The Veilguard. After he took over, he began to meet with some of the leadership in BioWare and EA and made the decision to take Dragon Age back to single-player.

This information comes from a report by Jason Schreier at Bloomberg, where Gary McKay's thought process behind this game was explained in detail. For McKay, it made perfect sense to revert the game back to single-player, as games like Anthem didn't succeed, but Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order was a huge hit with fans of Star Wars and those who weren't.

"Once we made that decision, a lot of things started to fall into place," said McKay. However, there were other setbacks and obstacles. The pandemic was a huge one, as BioWare had to start hiring people remotely, which "made for cultural challenges," said McKay. As a result, the game didn't come out by its original target date; instead, it came out this week. Last summer, we also saw a layoff of 50 people at

In Dante's Ring, you are a firefighter wrestling with your inner demons while sledding down a volcano
I have one urgent request for Starward Industries, creators of the just-announced “anti-combat” survival RPG Dante’s Ring – don’t use the phrase “ring of fire” in your English marketing materials. I get that you’re going for a cocktail of Divina Commedia and FromSoftware associations, but you have to remember that this is the internet and we're all desperately crude. I can’t speak for people from other English-language countries, but when I hear somebody talking about their "ring of fire", I tend to assume they’ve been at the vindaloo.
