BioWare veterans confirm they were laid off by EA, including senior Dragon Age and Mass Effect devs

Rook, Neve, Emmrich, Lucanis, and the rest of their alliance stand together .

Electronic Arts announced a downsizing of BioWare yesterday that saw "many" employees being moved to other studios within the company while "a core team" continues work on the next Mass Effect. EA declined to comment on whether the restructuring would also result in layoffs, but to absolutely no one's surprise, it has, including some serious veteran talent.

Shortly after the restructuring announcement went live, both Karin and Trick Weekes revealed on Bluesky that they were no longer with the studio. Both are well-known BioWare veterans: Trick Weekes served as a writer on all the games and expansions in the original Mass Effect trilogy, as well as Dragon Age: Origins and Inquisition, before becoming lead writer on Dragon Age: The Veilguard, while Karin Weekes served as an editor on Mass Effect 2, 3, and Andromeda, Dragon Age: Origins, DA2, and Inquisition, Anthem, and Star Wars: The Old Republic.
