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

This isn't Dragon Age. The Veilguard's success is undeniable, yet troubling news from BioWare has emerged.

Rumors recently spread online, originating from sources described as "agenda fighters," claiming BioWare Edmonton's closure and the departure of Dragon Age: The Veilguard's game director.

Eurogamer journalists, however, seem to confirm at least part of this; Corinne Boucher, who's spent nearly 18 years at EA, largely with The Sims, will leave BioWare in the coming weeks.

Eurogamer, however, offers no concrete evidence regarding the purported shutdown of The Veilguard, the studio behind Dragon Age: The Veilguard. This remains purely speculative.

Critical reception of The Veilguard is mixed. Some hail it as a masterpiece, a triumphant return to form for BioWare, while others consider it a solid, albeit unremarkable, RPG.

At the time of writing, The Veilguard boasts no negative Metacritic reviews. Many reviewers praise its dynamic and engaging action RPG gameplay, particularly challenging at higher difficulty levels.

However, this praise isn't universal. VGC, for example, criticizes the gameplay as feeling outdated, lacking innovation or originality.
