Rumors suggest that BioWare's Game Director for Dragon Age: The Veilguard is Leaving, Studio May Face Closure

Mark Kern, former lead of World of Warcraft and ex-producer of Diablo 2, has claimed that Corinne Busche, a trans woman and the lead developer of Dragon Age: The Veilguard, is leaving BioWare. He also shared a screenshot of her farewell letter.

"After so much contemplation, I've decided to pursue a new challenge and a new project, doing what I love most — making RPGs. It wasn't an easy decision, as I mean it when I say I love BioWare, the Dragon Age team, and what we've all accomplished together. My time with all of you has been the highlight of my career", — the letter reads.

Notably, Corinne Busche's account on X has been set to private. Rumors also suggest that BioWare's Edmonton offices will close in February, just before an investor meeting.

According to Mark Kern, "It's sad that after completely destroying the game with DEI trans-scars and terrible characters and writing, that the Game Director responsible for it all bails and leaves everyone else holding the bag".

Neither BioWare nor Electronic Arts has officially confirmed this information yet.

As a reminder, Dragon Age: The Veilguard was released last October and received 70% positive reviews on Steam. Reportedly, the game's sales did not meet the publisher's expectations, reaching only 1.5 million copies out of the 10 million anticipated.
