Dragon Age’s former producer had envisioned a ‘Champions Edition’ equivalent to Mass Effect’s Legendary Edition, but he doesn’t think it will happen anymore: ‘There are basically no companies that could help you’

EA subsequently laid off dozens of BioWare’s staff, and numerous former developers have recently said they believe the series is probably dead. Yet, while there’s little hope…

Arc Raiders lead admits putting together new loadouts is a pain when you want to just ‘get in there and do stuff’, says the game got a lot right but ‘looking through a bunch of menus isn’t necessarily it’

The chilled-out extraction shooter Arc Raiders was one of 2025’s surprise hits, and for my money is a game that works because it gets so many small things right.
