BioWare Is Already Back, Assisting With Battlefield Development After Veilguard Failure

Expert Verified By

Is The Upcoming FPS Also Going Woke?

Story Highlight
  • BioWare is assisting in the development of the new Battlefield.
  • The studio is already busy with othe projects following the failure of Dragon Age: Veilguard.
  • Work on BioWare’s own new game, Mass Effect 5, isn’t starting anytime soon.

BioWare hasn’t exactly had a happy last few months in retrospect. If their premium AAA title Dragon Age: Veilguard flopping massively wasn’t enough, the game’s director also left the studio just recently following an internal investigation into the game’s failure.

The studio isn’t just waiting around for its next major project. Instead, it’s actively assisting EA in developing other internal games, including Battlefield.

Why This Matters: BioWare’s PR has been badly damaged by the failure of Dragon Age: Veilguard. Despite this, it’s an interesting choice to have its developers assist with the story and writing for the new Battlefield, a game that really needs to do well.

BioWare Assisting With Next Battlefield Game

According to Harel Eilam’s LinkedIn, some of the BioWare staff including him are working on the next Battlefield with DICE as part of the Electronic Arts’ Rotational Experience Program.

The developer will help with the narrative design and writing of the upcoming game. Given that many fans criticized the writing in Dragon Age: Veilguard, this move doesn’t inspire much confidence.

Despite the BioWare RPG turning out to be a disappointment for the ages, it seems like EA still trusts the studio a lot. The company has already assigned BioWare its next major AAA title, which is going to be Mass Effect 5, even though work on the game is not starting anytime soon.

BioWare’s Veilguard Was A Failure EA Didn’t Forsee.

EA also has big expectations from the next Battlefield title, saying it will go on to outsell Call of Duty that year and promising features like ultra-realistic destruction and open-world gameplay.

Attaching BioWare’s name to its project, however, isn’t a positive sign for a franchise trying to go back to its roots and win over older fans in the face of competition.
