Following the lead producer of Anthem, the BioWare team lost another one, but already responsible for Dragon Age.
Who left
Fernando Melo left the studio, who workedat BioWare for 12 years. His career as a developer began in 2007, overseeing animation production for Dragon Age: Origins. Subsequently, Melo worked on Mass Effect: Andromeda, and his last project as a producer was the conditional Dragon Age 4, which bears the test name Morrison.
“Together with excellent creative leadershipvision and the best developers in the world, Morrison is on the right track to become the best Dragon Age game. And I am very proud and honored that I was lucky enough to play a role in this,” Melo wrote.
Fernando did not name the exact reason for his departure, but noted that it was his decision, and not BioWare. On his Twitter page, Melo wrote that he was taking a break to reflect on ideas and his future career.
(1/4) Today was my last day at BioWare. After 12 years.. that’s a heck of a lot of feels. 🙂
Tonight I got to write my name up at our localpub, alongside many other amazing peers over the years, and it reminded me of a lot of folks no longer here that I miss dearly. pic.twitter.com/MFQELPM2jr
