There is another top-level departure at the developer, though
BioWare has another update on the current status of bothDragon AgeandMass Effect. Both are progressing, but alongside their updates, there’s also another high-level departure at BioWare.
Today’s blogconfirms thatDragon Ageexecutive producer Christian Dailey is leaving the studio. Dailey joined the team in 2018 and worked on theAnthemoverhaul project. When Casey Hudson and Mark Darrahretired from the company, Dailey took lead on the upcomingDragon Agegame.
“The games industry is ever-changing though and sometimes folks want to go and try new things–we understand, but we will miss him as a friend and as a colleague,” wrote BioWare GM Gary McKay.
The update reaffirms the team that’s still in place for the nextDragon Ageas well. Mac Walters, who led development on theMass Effect Legendary Edition, is production director. Corrine Busche is game director, and Benoit Houle is director of product development. McKay says he will also be “working more closely” with theDragon Ageteam.
Hi friends. I wanted to pass on the news that I am leaving BioWare. The next Dragon Age is in great hands. Looking forward to cheering on the team and playing as a fan. Please follow my friends on the latest and greatest moving forward. Much love#DragonAge#Anthemfamily. 🐲🤖https://t.co/y3OZ5vb8D2

As for the project itself, the update reaffirms thatDragon Ageis “right in the middle of Production.” The blueprint was completed last year, according to McKay.
He also notes the ongoing word onStar Wars: The Old Republic,which just launched an expansion, and the nextMass Effect. Announced at The Game Awards, the newMass Effectis being led by Mike Gamble, and the team is currently prototyping new ideas and experiences.
It sounds like these projects are still a ways off. A recent report from Jeff Grubb on his showGrubbSnaxindicates it’s still about 18 months away, though it’s in good shape.
