Dragon Age: The Veilguard Director Reportedly Exits BioWare

Author : Isaac Mar 14,2025

Corinne Busche, the director of Dragon Age: The Veilguard, is reportedly leaving BioWare, an EA-owned studio. Eurogamer reports her departure, expected in the coming weeks, follows the game's launch last October. While questions remain regarding The Veilguard's commercial success, Eurogamer states Busche's exit is unrelated to its performance. EA is yet to comment on sales figures, with Q3 2025 financial results expected February 4th. BioWare has confirmed no DLC is planned for The Veilguard, shifting focus to Mass Effect 5.

Busche joined BioWare in 2019 from Maxis, contributing to The Sims franchise. She played a crucial role in guiding The Veilguard to completion during its final development stages, a journey detailed in IGN's article, "How BioWare Finally Got Dragon Age to the Finish Line After a Tumultuous Decade," which highlighted the game's near-decade-long development and significant reset.

Busche's departure follows previous challenges at BioWare. In August 2023, around 50 employees, including veteran narrative designer Mary Kirby, were laid off. These layoffs coincided with an EA internal restructuring and rumors of a potential BioWare acquisition. The decision to transition Star Wars: The Old Republic to a third-party publisher ostensibly allowed BioWare to concentrate on Mass Effect and Dragon Age.

The reveal of Dragon Age: The Veilguard (previously Dreadwolf) in 2024 initially faced negative reactions, prompting BioWare to quickly release early gameplay footage. While initial reception was mixed, later impressions were generally more positive. The future of the Dragon Age franchise, and whether BioWare will be given the opportunity to develop a sequel to The Veilguard, remains uncertain for fans.
