The writer is heading for new ventures after almost two decades at BioWare
Mac Walter, a veteran of theMass Effectseries, is leaving BioWare. The longtime writer and lead on several major projects at BioWare is moving on after nearly two decades at the company.
As Walters announced on hisLinkedIn page, Walters decided at the end of last year to leave BioWare. In his post, he wishes everyone at the studio well.
“These past 19 years have been a life-changing experience to say the least, and it made the choice to go very difficult,” wrote Walters. “I’ve worked with so many wonderful people and had the privilege to be a part of the most amazing teams and projects. It’s hard to fathom it all, and I know I’ll be reflecting on it for years to come.”
Walters doesn’t confirm what his next step is just yet, but did write that “with a new year comes new adventures.”
The massive effect
Walters joined BioWare in 2003, as a writer for the martial arts RPGJade Empire. He’d then serve as a writer onMass Effectbefore moving up to lead writer forMass Effect 2and3, and then head toAnthemto be its narrative director.
He’d return toMass EffectwithAndromedaas its creative director, was project director of theLegendary Edition. His last role at BioWare was as Production Director for the upcomingDragon Age: Dreadwolf.
TheDreadwolfhas been fairly quiet since we got asubtitle reveallast year, with just afew teasesto go on. And the nextMass Effecthas had even less to go on. No release window has been set yet for either.
Meanwhile, this marks another departure for a longtime BioWare veteran, alongside others that have left over the last few years likeCasey Hudson, Mark Darrah, andMatt Goldman.
