Corinne Busche, the game director for Dragon Age: The Veilguard, has departed from BioWare

Update, January 20, 2025: Corinne Busche has stated that she left BioWare voluntarily after receiving an offer elsewhere. "My departure was voluntary, as I have been presented with an opportunity I couldn't turn down," she mentioned to Eurogamer. "I don't want to say much more right now, but you can count on it being in the CRPG space and upholding the tradition of great characters."

Busche shared her achievements at BioWare: "I did what I set out to do at BioWare. That is to come in and help right the ship. I love Dragon Age, and BioWare, so the chance to return the game to a proper quality single player RPG was the privilege of a lifetime."

"It was hard fought, as games with such tumultuous dev cycles rarely end up shipping, and even more rarely turn out great. We, as a team, did it. And it was hard. It took a toll on me. BioWare still has a lot of work to do culturally, but I do believe they are on the right footing now."
