BioWare Restructures After Dragon Age: The Veilguard Misses Expectations

The studio shifts focus to Mass Effect 5 under veteran leadership while layoffs and reassignments affect former Dragon Age staff.

Dragon Age: The Veilguard underperformed, engaging only 1.5 million players—half of EA's internal expectations.
BioWare announced a restructuring, stating that the next Mass Effect game will be developed by a 'core team' led by veterans from the original trilogy.
Several Dragon Age developers have been reassigned to other EA projects, while others have faced layoffs; exact numbers remain undisclosed.
Former staff, including key writers and designers, confirmed their departures on social media following the restructuring announcement.
The next Mass Effect is in early development, with BioWare's focus shifting to a one-project-at-a-time strategy to ensure quality.
