- Dragon Age: The Veilguard’s director left EA after the game failed to meet sales targets.
- Director Corrine Busche is now working under Wizards of the Coast, the company that owns Baldur’s Gate.
- The developer is leading an unannounced project under an internal studio formed recently.
Dragon Age: The Veilguard’s failure led to major changes at BioWare. Following this release, director Corrine Busche departed the studio, leading to uncertainty about the future.
While BioWare is now planning a comeback with Mass Effect, Corrine Busche has already moved on to a new project. According to new reports, the director is now leading a brand new game for Wizards of the Coast, the same company that owns the Baldur’s Gate IP.
Why it matters: Despite the unprecedented success of Baldur’s Gate 3, Larian Studios will not develop the next game. Instead, Wizards of the Coast is leading the charge for the IP.
Wizards of the Coasts’ Dan Ayoub recently spoke about Corrine Busche’s position as a lead developer at the newly formed Skeleton Key studio. The team has yet to release anything but worked on two projects until recently.
While one has now been cancelled, Corrine Busche is leading the game that survived, bringing most of the other developers to the surviving project. Because of the director’s past, this project is also expected to be yet another RPG.
Although many believed Corrine Busche would be involved in Baldur’s Gate 4, this does not seem to be the case for now. Wizards of the Coast has yet to say anything substantial regarding the franchise for now, although it is likely to be searching for partner developers.
As per Dan Ayoub, the company is dedicated to building RPGs and single-player experiences for players around the globe.
We want to build worlds, story-driven, single-player character games.
