Dragon Age CEO and Producer Leaving Studio – Gaming – News

Casey Hudson, de general manager BioWare leaves the studio. He quits himself and says he will do so to make way for a ‘new generation’. Mark Darrah, the producer of the Dragon Age games, announces his departure at the same time.

Hudson writes about his departure on the BioWare blog and states that it is ‘a good time for change’, both for himself and for the studio. Hudson says he has the need for something new and wants to express his creative passion more in personal work.

BioWare has not yet appointed a new general manager. Gary McKay, now senior director of development operations is at the studio, takes over the role temporarily, while parent company EA is looking for a successor. Mike Gamble, previously a producer on Mass Effect: Andromeda and Anthem, will be in charge of the ongoing Mass Effect projects.

Mark Darrah is leaving BioWare at the same time as Hudson. He had been with the studio since the 1990s and was responsible for Dragon Age games. A clear reason for his departure he doesn’t care and he doesn’t know yet what to do next. Christian Dailey, who previously worked at Blizzard, takes over the role of executive producer for Dragon Age over from Darrah.

EA thanks the two BioWare veterans in a blog post. The publisher says that the two themselves have decided to do something different and respect that. Hudson and Darrah both worked at BioWare for about 20 years. Hudson was responsible for the first three Mass Effect games, among other things. He left the studio in 2014 and then went to work at Microsoft on Xbox and HoloLens projects, but he returned to BioWare in 2017.

BioWare is working on Dragon Age 4, among other things, and previously showed these images.
