How BioWare Became ZombieWare: From RPG Kings to Modern Failures

Once a titan in redefining the RPG genre with classics like Mass Effect, Dragon Age, Baldur’s Gate, and Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic, BioWare has fallen far under EA’s management. In this video, I explore their rise, the disastrous release of Dragon Age: The Veilguard, and what it means for the studio’s future. Can BioWare recover with Mass Effect 5, or is the RPG legacy now in the hands of studios like Humanoid Origin and Archetype Entertainment?
