Dragon Age: The Veilguard Director Reportedly Exits BioWare

by Claire Mar 04,2025

Corinne Busche, director of Dragon Age: The Veilguard, is reportedly departing from BioWare, an EA-owned studio. Eurogamer reports her departure, expected in the coming weeks, follows her tenure as game director from February 2022 until the game's launch last October. EA has yet to comment.

The commercial success of Dragon Age: The Veilguard has been a subject of speculation since its release. While Eurogamer indicates Busche's departure is unrelated to the game's performance, EA's Q3 2025 financial results (scheduled for February 4th) will offer further clarity on sales figures. The company has not confirmed whether sales met or exceeded expectations.

BioWare has officially ruled out DLC for Dragon Age: The Veilguard, shifting its focus to Mass Effect 5. This follows August 2023 layoffs affecting approximately 50 employees, including veteran narrative designer Mary Kirby. These personnel changes coincided with broader internal restructuring at EA, dividing the company into sports and non-sports divisions, and fueled rumors of a potential BioWare acquisition. The decision to transition Star Wars: The Old Republic to a third-party publisher was also made around this time, ostensibly to allow BioWare to concentrate on Mass Effect and Dragon Age.

The Dragon Age franchise's journey has been marked by ups and downs. The initial reveal trailer for The Veilguard (formerly Dreadwolf) received a negative reception, prompting BioWare to quickly release gameplay footage to appease fans. Despite the initial backlash, subsequent impressions were generally positive.

The future of the Dragon Age franchise remains uncertain. Whether BioWare will be given the opportunity to develop a sequel to The Veilguard is a question that hangs in the balance for eager fans.
