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

Contrary to initial impressions, the recent success of Dragon Age: The Veilguard is overshadowed by unsettling news from BioWare. Online speculation, fueled by sources described as "agenda fighters," points to the closure of BioWare Edmonton and the departure of the game's director.

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

However, Eurogamer remains uncertain about the alleged closure of the The Veilguard development team, classifying this aspect as pure speculation.

Critical reception of The Veilguard is mixed. While some hail it as a triumphant return to form for BioWare, others view it as a competent, albeit unremarkable, RPG.

At the time of writing, Metacritic shows no negative reviews. Many reviewers praise the game's dynamic and engaging action RPG gameplay, particularly challenging at higher difficulty levels.

Yet, this praise isn't unanimous. VGC, for example, criticizes the gameplay as feeling outdated and lacking innovation.
