Summary
- After BioWare undergoes restructuring, key devs from the Dragon Age series are no longer at the studio.

- This has the community mourning, and thanking the devs who made the series what it was.
The past few months have been a rollercoaster for 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Dragon Age fans. Last summer, BioWare and EA went all out on hyping up the long-awaited fourth entry in the series, 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Dragon Age: The Veilguard. Then, when we got the game after ten years of waiting, the reception was mixed. But still, we had a new game, finally wrapping up a story set up in 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Dragon Age: Inquisition.
Now, over the course of a week, it's all come crumbling down. Following the reveal that The Veilguard 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:underperformed by EA's standards - reaching 1.5 million players instead of 3 million - it was 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:confirmed that B🐼ioWare was being restructured. Unsurprisingly in today's climate, 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:t🐭he restructuring has involved layoffs, and it's being reported that 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:BioWare n🌄ow has fewer t☂han 100 employees.

So, with BioWare now apparently less than half the size it was two years ago, and solely focused on Mass Effect 5, where does that leave Dragon Age? Not in a good place at all, fans fear. With so many key writers now gone and only a small team remaining for the next Mass Effect, it looks incredibly unlikely that BioWare would be physically capable of working on anything Dragon Age-related for at least several years. One of the writers has even said 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:the series belongs to the fans now, which has the community in mourning
Dragon Age Fans Fear The Series Is Over, Thank Devs For Their Work
It's unclear where the series goes from here
Tributes are pouring in over social media, as fans share their ✅sympathy for the developers caught up in the sit✤uation at BioWare.
"Extremely sad that Dragon Age is on ice, so I just wanna say thank you to every single developer that helped work on the Dragon Ag▨e series," says content creator Kala Elizabeth. "Thank you for Dragon Age."
To make matters worse, 168澳洲ജ幸运5开奖网:The Veilguard was setting up a new story.
Many others in the community share this sentimen﷽t, with Twitter user @Pani_Artz writing: "The fans will keep the franchise alive".
"My heart goes out [to] all the developers who worked on this game and ha✃ve gotten nothing but s**t treatment by EA and their higher-ups," says Reddit user . "Dragon Age wouldn't be the same without them and I hope 🌄they move on the much greener pastures than EA."
It isn't limited to those who have just left the studio either, as many remember those who left between Inquisition and The Veilguard. In particular, they reference remarks made by the previous lead of the Dragon Age series, David Gaider, who said that ♏168澳洲幸运5开奖网:BioWare higher-ups "quietly resented" the writers. Since Gaider left in 2016, it seems that the team has 𝓰been strugglin🗹g for some time.
This won't be too surprising for those who have been paying attention. The Veilguard came about after two different attempts to launch a fourth Dragon Age game fell apart. The first was a traditional single-player game, and the next was multiplayer. From what we can tell, The Veilguard as we know it 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:was ꦰmade from the ashes of the multiplayer title.
For now, we can ꦜonly wait and see what the future holds for BioWare. There is a plan in place for Mass Effect 5, but whatever happens with it, it's clear that BioWare is a very different studio now.
