14 DAY TRIAL // Drew Karpyshyn, one of the main writers at developer BioWare, has announced that he is leaving the company and the gaming industry in order to focus on writing his own Children of Fire fantasy novel and a new entry in Star Wars universe.
On his personal blog, the former Mass Effect, Baldur’s Gate and Knights of the Old Republic writer, said “During my time at BioWare I worked on a number of beloved and award winning titles. I’m proud of everything we accomplished, and I know going forward that BioWare will continue to live up to its well deserved reputation for making the best story driven games in the industry.”
He added, “The Dragon Age games and the continued success of the Mass Effect series after my departure make it pretty clear that BioWare can get along just fine without me, and I’m looking forward to experiencing the games as a fan rather than from the other side of the fence.”
