The gaming community has been buzzing with the success of Dragon Age: The Veilguard, a title that has sparked significant interest and discussion. However, amid this triumph, unsettling news regarding BioWare has emerged, casting a shadow over the celebrations.
Recent rumors have circulated about the potential closure of BioWare Edmonton and the departure of Dragon Age: The Veilguard's game director. These rumors originated from sources labeled as "agenda fighters," but according to Eurogamer, there is some truth to the claims. Specifically, Corinne Boucher, who has been with EA for nearly 18 years and primarily worked on The Sims franchise, is set to leave BioWare in the coming weeks. However, Eurogamer has no information confirming plans to shut down the studio behind The Veilguard, leaving such claims in the realm of speculation.
Critics have mixed feelings about The Veilguard. Some hail it as a masterpiece, proclaiming that "old BioWare is back," while others view it as a solid role-playing game with its own flaws but lacking the greatness of past titles. At the time of writing, there were no negative reviews on Metacritic, and many reviewers praised the game for its dynamic and engaging action role-playing experience, especially at higher difficulty levels.
However, opinions vary. For instance, VGC noted that the gameplay of The Veilguard "feels stuck in the past," criticizing it for not introducing anything particularly new or innovative.
