Dragon Age: The Veilguard director Corinne Busche is reportedly leaving EA-owned BioWare. Eurogamer reported that Busche, who was game director on Dragon Age: The Veilguard from February 2022 to its launch last year, is set to leave the studio in the coming weeks. IGN has asked EA for comment.

UPDATE 4pm UK: Dragon Age game director Corinne Busche has now confirmed her departure from BioWare and EA in a statement to Eurogamer. In it, Busche said she had left the studio for a new post elsewhere, after being offered an oppurtunity to build a fresh RPG she "couldn't turn down".

Corinne Busche, the game director behind the 2024 action RPG Dragon Age: The Veilguard, is officially saying farewell to BioWare. Released in October 2024, Dragon Age: The Veilguard was the long-awaited fourth game in the series, released almost a decade after the last installment.

The Veilguard closes a chapter in Thedas' history while hinting at a new plot for future games. Where exactly can the series go next?

Busche, along with John Epler, was one of the main figures responsible for overseeing Veilguard's final push across the release finish line.

While it's not a groundbreaking game like previous entries in the series, Dragon Age: The Veilguard still shows just how good BioWare is at crafting an adventure set in a magical world and bolstered by strong real-time action-based combat.

Though Busche leaves behind an 18-year career at EA, BioWare is reportedly otherwise unaffected.
