EA’s CEO Andrew Wilson said Dragon Age: The Veilguard is a “return to what made BioWare great”.
During a Q&A with investors in EA’s quarterly earnings call, Wilson reflected on BioWare’s recent history, which included looking back at beleaguered multiplayer shooter, Anthem.
The EA exec said this game was “probably the one people remember the most for not really living up to the expectations of what a ‘BioWare game’ should be”. He noted the studio was trying to “do something very very different” to what had gone before, adding the “pieces of the puzzle” ultimately didn’t come together as BioWare had hoped.

Following Anthem, a “big shift” subsequently happened at the developer, which Wilson said saw the studio “really returning to BioWare-type games” and “returning to BioWare’s strengths”. And, that brings us to Dragon Age: The Veilguard, which is set to release across PS5, Xbox Series X/S and PC on 31st October.
