Dragon Age: The Veilguard is clearly one of those games that has failed to create unanimity. On Metacritic alone, the average press rating is 82/100, while that of players is only 3.9/10, although we suspect a bit of review bombing here. On Steam, out of 32,779 reviews posted, only 70% of them are positive. Besides this, Electronic Arts and BioWare have to date never communicated any sales figures, suggesting that the game is not a big commercial success. Finally, to back it all up, we learned today that the game director has left the company.
The director of Dragon Age: The Veilguard is reportedly preparing to leave BioWare
While a rumor has been circulating for several hours according to which Corinne Busche, director of Dragon Age: The Veilguard, would leave BioWare, a renowned journalist has just confirmed the veracity of the information.
Indeed, Jeff Grubb specified that Corinne Busche will leave BioWare in the coming weeks. Also, it is rumored that BioWare Edmonton is preparing to close its doors and that the announcement would be made around February, but according to Jeff Grubb and Eurogamer, this would not be the case. No other changes would be to be deplored.
-According to her LinkedIn profile, Corinne Busche worked for more than 18 years at Electronic Arts, holding designer and director roles on various franchises, such as The Sims and Dragon Age.
It remains to be seen whether this is a voluntary departure or not. According to Eurogamer’s sources, his departure would not be linked to the commercial performance of Dragon Age: The Veilguard. It is doubtful whether she will make a public announcement, as her various social networks are protected. Let’s also hope that Electronic Arts will deny the rumor that BioWare Edmonton is preparing to close its doors, if only to reassure fans of Dragon Age and Mass Effect.
