Still a rumor this very morning, the departure of Corinne Busche from Bioware studios has just been confirmed by the person concerned who explains that she is leaving the studio for a new position elsewhere after being offered the opportunity to create a new RPG that she “couldn’t refuse”. An intervention which puts an end to the rumors in the corridors which attested that her departure was linked to the poor performance of Dragon Age The Veilguard, she who occupied the position of game director within the game. Moreover, concerning the sales figures, even if Electronic Arts refuses to communicate them, it is rumored that the performances would be passable, nothing more, especially for a project of the caliber of Dragon Age and which required so much development time. This is what Corinne Busche highlights in her recent comments on her departure: “Basically, it was a question of personal development”she told Busche to our colleagues at Eurogamer. “I did what I wanted to do at BioWare. Which was come in and help right the ship. I love Dragon Age and BioWare, so the chance to make the game a quality single-player RPG again was the privilege of a lifetime It was hard-earned, because games with such tumultuous development cycles rarely end up being released, and even more rarely end up being great. it was difficult. cost a lot. BioWare still has a lot of work to do culturally, but I think they’re on the right track now.”
Corinne Busche, who worked closely with John Epler, the creative director, was responsible for overseeing the final part of the development of The Veilguard from the beginning of 2022, until its final release on October 31. Dragon Age The Veilguard is a pharaonic project which lasted almost 10 years, cost a certain amount of money and had to face numerous reboots. Rumors of his departure began circulating online last night, and were first confirmed by journalist Jeff Grubb. Something that Eurogamer validated a few hours later, before contacting Corinne Busche who granted them an interview. Eurogamer adds that the sales of Dragon Age The Veilguard have no link with the departure of Corinne Busche. After Dragon Age The Veilguard, the bulk of BioWare’s teams are now fully focused on the upcoming Mass Effect game, which is being led by a small team of video game veterans.
