BioWare is reportedly now down to fewer than 100 employees after a round of layoffs and staff exits following the release of Dragon Age: The Veilguard and a restructure to focus on the next Mass Effect game.

There is really no getting around the fact that BioWare is in dire straits at the moment, now at the end of a decade of three missed opportunities

It has become known that after a wave of layoffs, transfers, and dismissals, BioWare has less than 100 employees left. This happened after the release

Dragon Age and Mass Effect studio BioWare has been hit by layoffs following the underperformance of its flagship RPG Dragon Age: The Veilguard.

I think there is a game where you could combine the more action-based moment-to-moment combat with a great deal more tactical depth. There’s no reason a pause-play option couldn’t exist alongside the flashier melee and magic.

Every writer credited as being a part of the main writing team on Dragon Age: The Veilguard no longer appears to be working at BioWare, with a number of departures at various points in the past having been added to by the studio's latest restructuring.

According to IGN, "a number" of BioWare developers have been placed by EA into other equivalent roles within the company. Howeer, a smaller number of Dragon Age staff members are also seeing their positions shelved, and are being offered time to apply to other roles within the company (if they so wish).

BioWare is becoming a "more agile" and "focused" studio that aims to make "unforgettable" games, beginning with the next Mass Effect.

The Veilguard developer BioWare has released a new patch for the game and in the same breath suggested it’s basically done with it less than three months after launch.
