Dragon Age The Veilguard game director leaves BioWare, players expect studio to shut down

It's clear that *Dragon Age: The Veilguard* has made a significant impact in the gaming world, becoming a major success. However, recent unsettling news about BioWare has sparked concern among fans. Rumors have been circulating about the potential closure of BioWare Edmonton and the departure of *The Veilguard*'s game director, Corinne Boucher. These rumors originated from sources known as "agenda fighters," but Eurogamer journalists have confirmed the departure of Boucher, who will leave BioWare "in the coming weeks" after nearly 18 years with EA, primarily working on The Sims franchise. Despite this, Eurogamer has found no concrete evidence to support the speculation about shutting down BioWare Edmonton.

The critical reception of *The Veilguard* has been mixed. Some critics have hailed it as a masterpiece, proclaiming that "old BioWare is back," while 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, there were no unfavorable reviews on Metacritic, and the majority of reviewers praised the game's dynamic and engaging action role-playing elements, especially at higher difficulty levels. However, opinions vary, with VGC noting that the gameplay "feels stuck in the past" and lacks innovation.
