Dragon Age: The Veilguard director Corinne Busche is reportedly leaving EA-owned BioWare.Eurogamer reported that Busche, who was game director on Dragon Age: The Veilguard from February 2022 to its launch last year, is set to leave the studio in the coming weeks.
IGN has asked EA for comment.There have been questions over Dragon Age: The Veilguard’s success ever since its release in October last year.
Eurogamer reported that while Busche is leaving the studio, it is otherwise unaffected by any other changes.Busche joined BioWare in 2019 after a stint at Maxis, where she helped design the systems on various The Sims projects.
As part of IGN’s article, ‘How BioWare Finally Got Dragon Age to the Finish Line After a Tumultuous Decade,’ we detailed the game’s near decade-long development, which included a major reset that saw it shift from the skeleton of a multiplayer game with repeatable quests, a tech base, and the outline of a story, to a full-blown single-player RPG.
Busche, as director, helped get Dragon Age: The Veilguard over the line during its final few years of development.Eurogamer reports that Busche's exit from BioWare is unrelated to Dragon Age: The Veilguard’s commercial performance.
