It's always tough to see a talented director like Corinne Busche step away, especially after guiding the development of such a storied franchise. With BioWare now pivoting to Mass Effect 5, it’ll be interesting to see how they balance fan expectations while rebuilding momentum for Dragon Age.

It's always a bummer to see leadership changes in studios, especially for a beloved franchise like Dragon Age. While the mixed reception of The Veilguard raises eyebrows, it sounds like BioWare is clearing the decks to ramp up for Mass Effect 5, which has its own set of eager fans waiting in the wings

The shift back to Mass Effect feels like a nostalgic play, but I can’t help but wonder what that means for the future of Dragon Age fans who are still hoping for a solid RPG experience.
