Dragon Age: Dreadwolf production director and Mass Effect veteran leaves BioWare

Dragon Age Dreadwolf production director departs BioWare after 19 years
After working at BioWare for more than 19 years, Mac Walters, who served as lead writer on Mass Effect 2 and 3, is leaving the studio.
As reported by Eurogamer, Walters publicly shared the news of his departure over the weekend in a LinkedIn post. The BioWare veteran served as a writer on Jade Empire, later taking on the role of lead writer for the second and third Mass Effect games, and prior to leaving he was production director on the upcoming and highly anticipated Dragon Age Dreadwolf.
“With a new year comes new adventures,” Walters wrote in the post. “As some of you already know, at the end of last year I decided to leave BioWare. These past 19 years have been a life-changing experience to say the least, and it made the choice to go very difficult. I’ve worked with so many wonderful people and had the privilege to be a part of the most amazing teams and projects. It’s hard to fathom it all, and I know I’ll be reflecting on it for years to come.”
