Il lead writer del primo Mass Effect e co-leader di Mass Effect 2, Drew Karpyshyn, è ritornato da BioWare.

L’annuncio è avvenuto sul suo sito personale. Qui sotto riportiamo la parte interessata:

“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.

Now, for the third piece of news: on October 8 I will be doing an “Ask Me Anything” on the reddit r/fantasy forums! If you have questions for me, this is the place to ask them! And here’s a little insider tip: in my next update I’ll be posting details of a contest for anyone who posts a question to my AMA! Free stuff and the chance to talk with a living legend! What more could you ask for, right?

Okay, I guess that’s it for this update. Back in two weeks!”

Drew Karpyshyn non aiuterà lo sviluppo di Andromeda, ma il suo ritorno fa sperare che in futuro riprenda a seguire la saga che abbiamo tanto amato.
