BioWare posts a promising update on Dragon Age 4

Even if you discount BioWare's recent string of unsuccessful releases, the studio has lost a handful of key individuals. In late 2020, BioWare lost Mark Darrah, the executive producer of the Dragon Age games. Meanwhile, a few months later, Jonathan Warner, also left the studio after playing a role in Mass Effect 3 and Anthem. To make matters worse, Darrah blasted BioWare in a very public YouTube video last year, saying that the infamous "BioWare Magic" was nothing but a term that effectively meant unhealthy workplace conditions and delays.

With BioWare also losing Christian Dailey, who took over as the executive producer of Dragon Age 4 following Darrah's departure, things aren't so rosy over at the once-acclaimed studio.

The silver lining here is that a long development period for Dragon Age 4 would help mitigate any talks about BioWare subjecting its employees to constant overtime. Having been in development since 2015, Dragon Age 4 will have had nearly a decade of work put into it by the time that the game is released in late 2023 if the recent reports are to go by.
