Dragon Age: The Veilguard Director Reportedly Exits BioWare

Author : Ethan Mar 15,2025

Corinne Busche, the director of Dragon Age: The Veilguard, is reportedly leaving BioWare, an EA-owned studio. Eurogamer reports her departure, expected in the coming weeks, follows the game's launch last October. While questions remain about The Veilguard's performance, Eurogamer clarifies that Busche's exit is unrelated to any broader studio restructuring. EA has yet to comment.

Busche joined BioWare in 2019 from Maxis, contributing to various Sims projects. Her role in The Veilguard's development was crucial, guiding the game through its final stages after a significant overhaul that transitioned it from a planned multiplayer title to a single-player RPG. This involved a near decade-long development process detailed in IGN's article, "How BioWare Finally Got Dragon Age to the Finish Line After a Tumultuous Decade."

Eurogamer sources indicate Busche's departure is not linked to The Veilguard's commercial success, which remains undisclosed. EA’s Q3 2025 financial results, expected February 4th, may shed light on the game's sales figures. BioWare has confirmed no DLC is planned for The Veilguard, shifting focus instead to Mass Effect 5.

The news follows August 2023 layoffs affecting approximately 50 BioWare employees, including veteran narrative designer Mary Kirby. These cuts occurred amidst an EA restructuring and rumors of potential acquisition. The decision to transition Star Wars: The Old Republic to a third-party developer seemingly aimed to streamline BioWare's focus on Mass Effect and Dragon Age.

The Veilguard's journey was marked by challenges, including negative initial reactions to its reveal trailer (and subsequent name change from Dreadwolf) that necessitated a quick gameplay preview to reassure fans. Despite this rocky start, later impressions were generally more positive.

The future of the Dragon Age franchise remains uncertain. Whether BioWare will be given the opportunity to develop a sequel to The Veilguard is now a question for fans.
