Dragon Age: The Veilguard’s original concept was entirely different, according to Mark Darrah, with much deeper gameplay, before switching to a “live service” model🚀

Here are all the details about one of gaming’a biggest what-if scenarios:

✅Former BioWare Executive Producer Mark Darrah shared a 2016 pitch book detailing the original vision for Dragon Age 4 (codenamed "Joplin").

✅The original design aimed for:

1️⃣Significantly more immersive experience
2️⃣Reactive world
3️⃣Destructible environments
4️⃣Dynamic weather
5️⃣Advanced social interactions
6️⃣Heists

✅Darrah noted that many of these ambitious ideas (such as heists) likely would have been scaled back during development anyway.

✅The original game as created to secure early funding, new hires, and executive buy-in from EA by building on the success of Dragon Age: Inquisition.

✅The "Joplin" project was ultimately scrapped in favor of a live-service model, which was later retooled into Dragon Age: The Veilguard.

It’s crazy how many studios are getting shut down and franchises tanking because of the executive obsession live-service model, generic cookie-cutter experiences and lack of depth and unique identity.

I can only imagine where BioWare would’ve been today (and even Sony’s many studios that suffered the rabid push for live service) if Anthem was a single player story driven Mass Effect spin-off, Andromeda was allowed to have a sequel to flesh out its universe and Dragon Age 4 original plan was made…

"The Music That Might Have Been"

Austin Wintory, renowned composer behind games like Journey, releases 22 minutes of early Mass Effect 5 musical drafts from his pitch to compose the game:

"Working on Mass Effect 5 was my career's biggest dream project, my white whale. It is my favorite franchise of all time, and for the last couple years I'd been in serious conversations with BioWare and EA to jump in.

My suggestion was to treat the original game's masterful Jack Wall/Sam Hulick score as a starting point, and to build on it from there with deeper use of physical, analog synths and a more tightly interwoven use of the orchestra. But a love letter first and foremost (not unlike my approach to the Aliens franchise with Fireteam Elite).

As part of the ongoing dialogue, I decided last year (2025) to surprise the folks with an elaborate production: nearly 20 minutes of music, fully recorded and produced with synths, vocals and a large orchestra here in LA. I'd not yet learned any narrative details of what they were planning so this was just pure musical exploration.

Receiving the news alongside everyone else that EA had decided to not only cancel the project but shutdown BioWare entirely was a deeply felt loss. It's been hard to see dear friends lose their jobs, and this beloved franchise seemingly vanish forever.

Thank you nonetheless to everyone at BioWare and EA's music department for gifting me the chance to dream in your sandbox. It was a privilege to do even that much."

This is not something I ever expected to see.

Larian and Bioware started their trajectories in the games industry at the same time and Bioware led the way in making RPGs big. It's almost unimaginable that we're now entering an era were the name Bioware won't show up anymore when discussing upcoming RPGs. What a loss for all of us.

Thank you for all the games. Thank you for the many hours of gameplay. Thank you for all the stories . You can be damned proud of what you achieved.

I hope you all land well.

BioWare has always inspired us, and it's hard to say goodbye to our idols. Thank you for everything, @BioWare. Many of us wouldn’t be in the games industry without your legacy.

I can finally talk about Mass Effect Universe.

Since Bioware closed I can now reveal that I was part of the Mass Effect Council, saw what BioWare was building, and provided feedback during development.

• Set 600+ years after the Reaper War
• You play as a customizable N7 agent
• Instead of being a walking gun rack, you're a cross between John Wick and James Bond
• Shepard's legacy preserved, regardless of your ending
• A galaxy divided into three major factions
• Humanity, Krogan, Batarians, and more allied together
• Council races forming their own alliance
• The Geth emerging as a third superpower
• A galactic Cold War instead of another Reaper style invasion with a shadowy adversary
• Geth-built megastructures
• Connections between the Milky Way and Andromeda
• Experimental technology implanted in you as a unique point of difference
• Hacking and manipulating the environment
• See through walls, identify systems, remotely trigger hazards and more
• Handcrafted missions like ME1-3
• But with Hitman-style freedom in how you complete them
• Brutal close-range executions
• Squadmates who can clash with each other
• Romance wasn't being sanitised
• Liara returns - now an incredibly powerful Asari Matriarch

From what I saw, BioWare was making Mass Effect for us, the fans, not for people who don't exist.
It looked incredible.
And now we may never get to play it.

A purported BioWare developer has leaked a trailer for the cancelled ME 5 on Reddit.

The footage, reportedly titled "MASS EFFECT UNIVERSE," appears to suggest the project was further along in development.

Its authenticity remains unverified.

This is absolutely heartbreaking! We grew up and matured playing your games and immersing ourselves in your stories, which inspired us for years. Thank you, BioWare, for all the feels, emotions, adventures, and beautiful worlds you shared with the world. In War, Victory. In Peace, Vigilance. In Death, Sacrifice.
