“In order to break out beyond the core audience, games need to directly connect to the evolving demands of players who increasingly seek shared-world features and deeper engagement alongside high-quality narratives in this beloved category,” Wilson said in an investor call.

There is really no getting around the fact that BioWare is in dire straits at the moment, now at the end of a decade of three missed opportunities

Dragon Age and Mass Effect studio BioWare has been hit by layoffs following the underperformance of its flagship RPG Dragon Age: The Veilguard.

Three months have now passed since BioWare finally saw the long-awaited release of its new RPG Dragon Age: The Veilguard – and despite favorable reviews from critics, EA states that the game failed to reach a "broad enough audience."

Last week, publisher Electronic Arts mentioned that BioWare's latest game, Dragon Age: The Veilguard, missed sales projections by a whopping 50%. Was the game's lackluster performance due to a bad story? Outdated gameplay mechanics? Apparently, it was because it wasn't a live service game.

The Veilguard failed at least partially because it didn’t have live-service elements. The gaming landscape has changed quite radically over the last decade. Games like Destiny and Fortnite have encouraged developers to look toward making its games everlasting rather than an experience that lasts a finite amount of time.

Electronic Arts (EA) confirmed its lower-than-expected results for its latest quarterly earnings, mainly attributed to a rough start for “Dragon Age: The Veilguard” and “EA Sports FC 25,” on Thursday.

The Veilguard failing to meet EA goals with only half of the players it wanted, EA CEO Andrew Wilson is reflecting on why that happened.
