The gaming world has been buzzing with the success of Dragon Age: The Veilguard, but recent unsettling rumors about BioWare have cast a shadow over this triumph. Speculations have emerged suggesting the closure of BioWare Edmonton and the departure of the game director for Dragon Age: The Veilguard. These rumors originated from sources labeled as "agenda fighters," raising questions about their credibility.
Eurogamer has confirmed that Corinne Boucher, a long-time employee at EA who has been involved with the The Sims franchise for most of her 18-year tenure, will be leaving BioWare in the coming weeks. However, Eurogamer remains uncertain about the rumors concerning the closure of BioWare Edmonton, classifying them as mere "speculation."
As for Dragon Age: The Veilguard, critics have been divided in their assessments. Some laud the game as a masterpiece, heralding the return of "old BioWare." Others view it as a solid role-playing game with its own set of flaws but lacking the greatness of its predecessors. At the time of writing, no unfavorable reviews have appeared on Metacritic. Most reviewers have praised the game's dynamic and engaging action role-playing elements, particularly noting its ability to keep players engaged at higher difficulty levels.
However, there are dissenting voices. For example, VGC criticizes The Veilguard for feeling "stuck in the past," suggesting that the gameplay does not offer anything particularly new or innovative.
