Unexpectedly, Casey Hudson and Mark Darrah announced their departure from BioWare. This is a big blow for the studio, since the first is none other than the co-creator of Mass Effect, while the second was just a few hours ago the executive producer of Dragon Age 4. D ‘ elsewhere, regarding the future of these two licenses, Electronic Arts is reassuring. “I am happy to announce that Christian Daily, who joined BioWare after working at Blizzard, will take the helm of the next Dragon Age currently in development., explains Laura Miele, head of studios at Electronic Arts, on thehe official BioWare blog. He is a fantastic creative leader and I look forward to all of you meeting him in the days to come. We recently announced Mass Effect: The Legendary Edition, and Mike Gamble leads a team working hard on the future of the franchise.“
In the same press release, she said that pending the arrival of a new boss, Samantha Ryan (a former director of Warner Brothers Games) will oversee BioWare. Naturally, Casey hudson and Mark Darrah have each posted a message reflecting on their career within the studio, and in which they also express all the confidence they have in their now ex-collaborators for the future. As for them, if Casey Hudson emphasizes wanting “try something different” through a “more personal work“Mark Darrah doesn’t know what his future will be like. We don’t worry about him anyway.
Finally, let’s not forget that in addition to working on the next Mass Effect and Dragon Age 4, BioWare also has the overhaul of Anthem on fire.
