Earlier today, BioWares General Manager Gary McKay issued a public statement announcing that the studio is undergoing restructuring to focus on the development of Mass Effect 5, led by veterans from the original trilogy such as Mike Gamble, Preston Watamaniuk, Derek Watts, and Parrish Ley.BioWareBuried beneath corporate jargon was a line stating that BioWare no longer requires support from the full studio, with many employees being reassigned to other teams within Electronic Arts that had open roles, which, when translated to plain English, suggests that some team members were, in fact, laid off as part of the restructuring, even though McKay avoided confirming that explicitly.Over the past few hours, however, a number of social media posts have surfaced online, revealing the names of at least some of the employees who got fired from BioWare today.According to posts shared on LinkedIn and Bluesky, BioWares restructuring has led to the termination of Dragon Age: The Veilguards Lead Writer Trick Weekes, Lead Editor Karin West-Weekes, and Narrative Editor Ryan Cormier. Additionally, BioWare Producer Jennifer Cheverie Cott, Associate Game Producer Daniel Steed, Senior Product Manager Lina Anderson, and Senior Systems Designer Michelle Flamm were also let go, while Senior Writer Sheryl Chee, who wrote Dragon Ages Leliana, Isabela, Blackwall, and Harding, was moved to EA Motive.The restructuring comes a week after Electronic Arts revealed that Dragon Age: The Veilguard has engaged only about 1.5 million players indicating that the number of copies sold might be even lower and fell 50% short of the publishers expectations. Shortly thereafter, the developers shipped The Veilguards Patch 5 Release Notes, which featured the words dareth shiral safe journey, or more commonly, farewell in the in-game Elven language suggesting that the game wont receive any more quality-of-life updates going forward.Dont forget to join our80 Level Talent platformand ournew Discord server, follow us onInstagram,Twitter,LinkedIn,Telegram,TikTok, andThreads,where we share breakdowns, the latest news, awesome artworks, and more.Source link The post Confirmed: Dragon Age: The Veilguards Writers & Producers Laid Off as Part of BioWares Restructuring appeared first on CG SHARES.
