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 unsettling news from BioWare has emerged.

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

Eurogamer journalists suggest these reports hold at least partial truth, confirming the 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 Veilguard's development team, classifying this aspect as speculation.

Critical reception of The Veilguard is mixed. While some hail it as a masterpiece and a return to form for BioWare, others consider it a solid, albeit flawed, RPG lacking true greatness.

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

Yet, dissenting opinions exist. VGC, for example, criticizes the gameplay as feeling outdated, lacking innovation or originality.
