There is really no getting around the fact that BioWare is in dire straits at the moment, now at the end of a decade of three missed opportunities

BioWare is reportedly now down to fewer than 100 employees after a round of layoffs and staff exits following the release of Dragon Age: The Veilguard and a restructure to focus on the next Mass Effect game.

It has become known that after a wave of layoffs, transfers, and dismissals, BioWare has less than 100 employees left. This happened after the release

Dragon Age and Mass Effect studio BioWare has been hit by layoffs following the underperformance of its flagship RPG Dragon Age: The Veilguard.

I think there is a game where you could combine the more action-based moment-to-moment combat with a great deal more tactical depth. There’s no reason a pause-play option couldn’t exist alongside the flashier melee and magic.

The studio is said to have less than 100 active employees at the moment, which constitutes fewer than half of the BioWare staff levels reported in 2023. The drastic downsizing is a mix of layoffs and reshuffles, with company veterans such as Dragon Age lead writer Trick Weekes finding themselves out of a job.
