Dragon Age director Busche has left EA
EA veteran Corinne Busche is departing the company and developer BioWare.
The news was originally reported by Jeff Grubb, with Busche herself confirming the news to Eurogamer in a statement. She had worked at Electronic Arts for 18 years, latterly as a game director on 2024's Dragon Age: The Veilguard. Busche said she is leaving EA for an opportunity that she "couldn't turn down" but there's no word yet as to where she is off to.
"At the heart of it, this was about my own fulfilment," Busche said.
"I did what I set out to do at BioWare. That is to come in and help right the ship. I love Dragon Age, and BioWare, so the chance to return the game to a proper quality single player RPG was the privilege of a lifetime.
"It was hard fought, as games with such tumultuous dev cycles rarely end up shipping, and even more rarely turn out great. We, as a team, did it. And it was hard. It took a toll on me. BioWare still has a lot of work to do culturally, but I do believe they are on the right footing now.
"As for me, my departure was voluntary, as I have been presented with an opportunity I couldn't turn down. I don’t want to say much more right now, but you can count on it being in the CRPG space and upholding the traditions of great characters."
