Dragon Age The Veilguard game director leaves BioWare, players expect studio to shut down

The success of Dragon Age: The Veilguard is undeniable, yet unsettling news from BioWare has emerged. Recent online speculation, fueled by sources described as "agenda fighters," claimed the closure of BioWare Edmonton and the departure of The Veilguard's game director.

Eurogamer journalists lend credence to at least part of this, confirming the departure of Corinne Boucher in the coming weeks. Boucher, an 18-year EA veteran, primarily worked on The Sims franchise.

However, Eurogamer clarifies that the rumored closure of BioWare's Dragon Age development team remains purely speculative.

Critical reception of The Veilguard is mixed. While some hail it as a triumphant return to form, others view it as a solid, albeit unremarkable, RPG. At the time of writing, Metacritic shows no negative reviews.

Many reviewers praise The Veilguard's engaging and demanding gameplay, particularly at higher difficulty levels. Yet, other outlets, such as VGC, criticize the gameplay as feeling outdated and lacking innovation. This divergence in opinion highlights the game's complex reception.
