Creative Director of Dragon Age Steps Down

Sad news falls upon the land of Dragon Age, as well as the other BioWare titles. The Creative Director of Dragon Age, Mike Laidlaw, has resigned. He makes the following statement on his Twitter:

Hey Everyone,

It's with a mix of emotions that I'm announcing my time with BioWare has ended. After 14 years and a chance to work on Jade Empire, Mass Effect, and all things Dragon Age it's time for me to move on.

In my time at BioWare I have been lucky to work with some of the most talented and hardworking people in the industry. It's been an honor to be part of the Dragon Age team, and I have every confidence that the world we've created together is in good hands and I'm excited for the road ahead.

For the near future, I plan to spend my time reconnecting with all the amazing games and worlds that my peers have created, and I look forward to sharing those experiences with you all on Twitch and Twitter.

To everyone who's taken the time to share feedback and experiences, your amazing cosplays and artistic creations: thank you. You've made my time "in Thedas" amazing. Your passion inspires and I look forward to our next adventure together.

Ma Serannas,

-Mike
