A sad day for the gaming industry as a whole. One of the most iconic developers, James Ohlen has announced his departure from BioWare after 22 years of productive work.
He shared the news on his official Twitter page as well:
Some of the most notable games that he was involved in are Dragon Age: Origins, Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic, both Baldur's Gate games and Neverwinter Nights.
The message he left was truly heartwrenching: " After 22 years I have retired from BioWare. I've loved my time with Anthem, Star Wars, Dragon Age and Dungeons and Dragons. But I need to take a break from the industry and work on something a little smaller and more personal. The most fun I've ever had at BioWare was as the lead designer on Baldur's Gate 1 and 2 and Neverwinter Nights. I've been a D&D fanatic since I was 10 years old and I want to be a part of it again".
We wish best of luck to James Ohlen in his future endeavors.
