Amidst BioWare's recent layoffs, many core developers who worked on "Dragon Age: The Veilguard" were affected. While the game faced criticism upon release for its narrative choices and "DEI controversy," the departure of key team members has left long-time "Dragon Age" fans concerned about the series' future.
Addressing these concerns, Sheryl Chee, a former Senior Writer on "Dragon Age: The Veilguard," recently shared a message of hope with fans on Bluesky, stating: "Dragon Age is not dead, because it now belongs to you."
Sheryl Chee, who left her former studio BioWare to join Motive Studio and work on the upcoming "Marvel's Iron Man" video game, also shared an update on her new role. She expressed that despite a challenging two years, during which she witnessed team members depart one after another, she still feels fortunate to continue her work.
EA's decision to restructure BioWare and implement layoffs followed the official announcement that "Dragon Age: The Veilguard" had fallen short of its projected sales targets. EA disclosed that in the most recent fiscal quarter, "Dragon Age" only attracted 1.5 million players, nearly a 50% decline from initial expectations. 
However, EA did not specify whether this 1.5 million player count included subscribers to its Play Pro service, leading to external skepticism regarding the accuracy of the reported figures.
