David Gaider dropping Dragon Age for secret BioWare project

BioWare’s David Gaider, one of the lead writers on the Dragon Age series, is moving onto a mysterious new project within the studio.

Gaider has been involved in the RPG franchise since the original Dragon Age: Origins but his responsibilities will now pass to colleague Patrick Weekes, according to Polygon, while he works on an unnamed title.

The writer revealed his changing role on Twitter:

So a bit of news: I have decided leave Dragon Age and move onto a new, upcoming BioWare project (which I can't discuss).

While it's hard to leave Dragon Age behind, 10 years is a long time to work on any one project. I decided it was time for something new.
