More than a few people were surprised when BioWare Montreal senior development director Chris Wynn announced on Twitter than not only was he leaving the Mass Effect: Andromeda production team but BioWare as a whole.
In a series of tweets, he stated:
It is with a heavy heart today to say that I am moving on from BioWare and Mass Effect: Andromeda, and returning to the USA.

The Andromeda team is the most talented team that I have ever worked with, truly inspiring to have worked with you each and every day.

I will join the passionate N7 community and will eagerly await the release of Andromeda with equal enthusiasm. Thank you and Happy Holidays!

No reason was given for his departure, and BioWare’s only statement on Wynn’s departure was: ”“Chris was a great member of the team. We want to thank him for his contributions and we wish him the best in his new adventures. Development of Mass Effect Andromeda continues to move full speed ahead at BioWare Montreal, Edmonton and Austin.”
Chris Wynn had also worked on such franchises as Gears of War and Madden.
