  • Drew Karpyshyn, Original Mass Effect Writer, Back at BioWare

    [ATTACH=CONFIG]1416[/ATTACH]
    Drew Karpyshyn, one of the original writers on the Mass Effect franchise, has returned to work at BioWare. He explained the return over on his personal website.
    Speaking of full circle, here’s the second piece of big news: as of this past week, I am back working at BioWare again! For those who don’t know, I spent over a decade with BioWare working on many award winning and fan-beloved games like Mass Effect 1&2, Knights of the Old Republic and the Star Wars: The Old Republic Online MMO. A few years ago I left BioWare to focus on my Chaos Born novels, but now that the trilogy is finished, I’ve decided to come back into the fold. But for those of you who love my novels, don’t worry – I’ll still be writing more of those, too!

    Working at BioWare was a challenging but very rewarding job, and it’s good to be back as part of the team. The thing I missed most about BioWare was the amazing people I got to work with, and luckily for me many of them are still there! I suspect a lot of folks are going to wonder if this means BioWare is about to announce a new project tied to my return. The short answer: no. I originally came to the Austin studio many years ago to work on SWTOR and – at least for now – that’s what I’m focusing on again.

    If you are as excited as you should be, you can ask Karpyshyn anything via Reddit's r/fantasy on October 8.

      For the first time in literally years, the DLC for Mass Effect 2, Mass Effect 3, Dragon Age II, and Dragon Age: Origins have appeared for sale on Origin. To be more specific, the DLC is available for sale in bundles for each game. Hey, it's still a step up from being only able to buy the DLC through BioWare using their BioWare Points. Who thought that was a smart thing to keep doing when Origin has been around for years? How did it literally take years for this to happen?! And why can you...

      Plus word about the Mass Effect TV adaptation.

      It's November 7th, but to Mass Effect fans it's time for the annual N7 Day. This year's N7 Day was a bit more on the subdued side with just a couple of announcements being made regarding the franchise.

      First up, Mass Effect executive producer Mike Gamble stated quite clearly that "EA and BioWare remain committed to telling more stories in this universe." Gamble wanted to "set the record straight" after...
