Anthem Lead Producer Ben Irving has announced his departure from Bioware, after 8 years spent working for the company.
The announcement comes only one week after Anthem’s long-awaited Cataclysm update went live, after being delayed, following the game’s rough launch.
Anthem Lead Producer Leaves Bioware
“After 8 amazing years at BioWare I have made the decision to move on and have accepted an exciting opportunity at another gaming company. Since the first time I played Baldurs Gate many many years ago, BioWare was the dream place I always wanted to work.”, Irving wrote on Twitter.
“I will forever be grateful to all the people who gave me the chance to work on great products with amazing people. I believe Anthem has a bright future - there is a great team working on it and I look forward to following its progress (and playing it!) from the sidelines.”, he continued.
The departure of a key team member so soon after Anthem’s Cataclysm update went live isn’t looking too good for Bioware’s troubled loot shooter.
Although Irving has said that both the game and the community is “in great hands”, players are likely finding it difficult to abstain from asking themselves whether Anthem truly has a future and if its potential will ever be fully realized.
