‘Mass Effect: Andromeda’ editor has left BioWare…and the gaming industry

Mass Effect 4

Whelp, I suppose we can maybe figure out why BioWare has delayed the next Mass Effect. The company has lost its third key member in as many months. Buckle up, we deep into development turbulence. Exceptional development turbulence.

Polygon:

Cameron Harris, a senior editor at Mass Effect developer BioWare, is leaving the studio next month, she announced on Twitter. In a string of tweets, Harris — whose projects at the studio included Star Wars: The Old Republic, Dragon Age: Inquisition and the upcoming Mass Effect: Andromeda — said that she would not only be leaving her position, but the gaming industry as a whole.

Harris was first contracted by the studio in 2012, when she worked on The Old Republic. Prior to that, she edited projects for Nintendo and Microsoft and, after BioWare, ArenaNet. She later returned to the studio for 2014’s Dragon Age Inquisition and was editing Andromeda‘s dialogue and storyline prior to her announcement. The game is scheduled for release in 2017.
