BioWare despide al personal de Dragon Age para concentrarse en Mass Effect

Autor : Lucas Actualizar : Feb 25,2025

Los desarrolladores clave de Dragon Age salen de BioWare después de la reestructuración del estudio para Mass Effect 5.

El 29 de enero, IGN informó que BioWare había reasignado numerosos desarrolladores a otros proyectos de EA, cambiando su enfoque completo a Mass Effect 5. El gerente general Gary McKay explicó la reestructuración como una realineación estratégica durante un período entre los principales ciclos de desarrollo. Si bien muchos desarrolladores se colocaron con éxito dentro de otros equipos de EA, un número menor de miembros del equipo de Dragon Age enfrentaron la terminación, con la opción de solicitar otros roles internos.

El anuncio provocó varias salidas de alto perfil BioWare. El editor Karin West-Weekes, el diseñador narrativo y escritor principal sobre Dragon Age: The Veilguard Trick Weekes y el editor Ryan Cormier anunciaron públicamente sus búsquedas de empleo. La productora Jen Cheverie y la diseñadora de sistemas senior Michelle Flamm también confirmaron sus salidas. Estas salidas siguen a 2023 despidos y la reciente partida de Dragon Age: la directora Veilguard Corinne Busche.

La respuesta de EA a las consultas con respecto al número de personas afectadas se mantuvo vaga, afirmando que el estudio cuenta adecuadamente para la fase actual del desarrollo de Mass Effect 5.

Dragon Age: The Veilguard, la primera entrada nueva de la serie en una década, concluyó su desarrollo la semana pasada con lo que parecía ser su actual actualización final. El lanzamiento del juego fue notablemente decepcionante, no cumplió con las expectativas de ventas en un 50%, logrando solo 1.5 millones de jugadores contra 3 millones proyectados. La decisión de BioWare de renunciar a DLC posterior al lanzamiento decepcionó aún más a los fanáticos. El desarrollo del juego ya había estado plagado de desafíos, incluidos despidos anteriores y la pérdida de varios miembros del personal clave.

Mientras tanto, EA confirmó que un equipo veterano, incluidos Mike Gamble, Preston Watamaniuk, Derek Watts y Parrish Ley, lidera el desarrollo del próximo juego de Mass Effect.

Shadow of the Monkey King: PS5 Patch Delivers Major Performance Boost, But 93GB Download Warning Sends Players Scrambling The highly anticipated Shadow of the Monkey King — officially titled Wukong — has just dropped a major performance patch for PlayStation 5, promising smoother frame rates, enhanced ray-tracing, and improved load times. However, fans are reacting with a mix of excitement and frustration after discovering the patch’s staggering 93GB download size. What’s New in the Patch? According to the official patch notes released by Game Science, the update brings several key improvements: Stable 60fps at 4K Resolution: The game now maintains a consistent 60 frames per second in most gameplay scenarios, a significant upgrade from the variable performance in the initial launch. Ray-Traced Lighting & Reflections: Enhanced visual fidelity with more realistic lighting and environmental reflections, especially in the game’s lush, mythological landscapes. Faster Load Times: Level transitions and open-world travel have been optimized, reducing loading times by up to 40%. Bug Fixes & Stability: Numerous crash fixes and AI behavior adjustments have been implemented based on player feedback. The team has also added a new "Performance Mode" that prioritizes frame rate over resolution, ideal for players who value smooth gameplay over ultra-high graphics. The 93GB Download: A Double-Edged Sword While the improvements are undeniable, the 93GB patch has sparked controversy. For context, the base game was already around 80GB — meaning the patch adds nearly 120% more data. Players on limited storage devices, particularly those with older PS5 models (1TB or 2TB), are alarmed. Many have reported that the patch not only eats up valuable space but may force them to delete other games to make room. Sony has since confirmed that the patch is required to access certain new features, including the expanded "Spirit Realm" side quests and new difficulty modes. Community Reaction “My PS5 only has 2TB, and I’ve already got 100+ games. I don’t even have the storage to test the patch!” – @GamerFromShangriLa “The visuals are gorgeous, but 93GB? That’s more than some whole console games.” – @PixelPanda99 “I’ll take the performance gains… but maybe next time, send a patch that doesn’t require a hard drive upgrade.” – @WukongWarrior Some players are turning to external SSDs, while others are demanding better compression or incremental updates in future patches. What’s Next? Game Science has acknowledged the backlash and said they’re exploring ways to optimize future updates with delta patches. They’ve also hinted at a potential "lightweight" version of the game for lower-end systems. For now, if you’re a fan of Wukong, the patch is worth the download — just make sure you’ve got the space, patience, and a good internet connection. Pro Tip: Use a high-speed external SSD and schedule the download overnight to avoid disrupting gameplay. Shadow of the Monkey King continues to impress with its unique blend of Chinese mythology, fluid combat, and breathtaking art direction. Just don’t forget to double-check your storage before hitting "download." 🐒💥 Lectura

As of now, there is no official confirmation that Nintendo Direct will focus on Kirby Air Riders in a future broadcast. Nintendo typically announces upcoming events through its official website and social media channels. While Kirby Air Riders is a beloved classic from the Kirby series released on the GameCube in 2003, there has been no public indication that it will be the focus of a new Nintendo Direct. If a Nintendo Direct is scheduled for tomorrow and features Kirby Air Riders, it would likely involve news about a potential remake, re-release on a modern platform (such as the Nintendo Switch), or a new Kirby title in the series. However, until an official announcement is made by Nintendo, any speculation should be treated with caution. For the most accurate and up-to-date information, please check Nintendo’s official website or their Nintendo Channel on YouTube. Lectura
