Dragon Age: The Veilguard director Corinne Busche has left the studio for a new RPG project, ending her 18-year career at BioWare.
Dragon Age: The Veilguard Director Corinne Busche has announced that she is leaving BioWare Edmonton. Busche, who joined the studio in 2006 and took part in many important projects, said goodbye to BioWare after an 18-year career at the studio for “an opportunity he couldn’t refuse.” While Busche stated that his departure was his own decision, he described his time at BioWare as “righting a ship” and said that returning the Dragon Age series to a quality single-player RPG format was one of the greatest privileges of his life.
Dragon Age: The Veilguard and the Future of BioWare
Corinne Busche’s departure came after the developments in the Dragon Age: The Veilguard game. Although the game achieved promising sales figures at first, it could not achieve the expected success in the long term. According to GamesIndustry.biz’s report, sales fell behind rival games such as Final Fantasy 7: Rebirth and Dragon’s Dogma 2. While talking about the difficult development process of the game, Busche stated that the studio still needs to develop culturally, but it is moving in the right direction.
BioWare is known for major franchises like Dragon Age and Mass Effect, but new games in these series have received mixed reception in recent years. Dragon Age: The Veilguard’s sales performance may have put pressure on the studio. BioWare, which continues to work on the new game of the Mass Effect series, once again has to meet the expectations of the fans.
Busche did not provide detailed information about his new project after his departure, but stated that it would be in the CRPG genre and “continue the tradition of creating great characters.” While this statement created excitement among fans, considering Busche’s experience in the RPG genre, his new project is likely to be awaited with great interest.
While the future of Dragon Age: The Veilguard and BioWare remains uncertain, Corinne Busche’s new project could make a significant impact in the RPG world. RPG fans are eagerly awaiting the next steps of both BioWare and Busche.
