BioWare lost one of its most experienced developers. James Ohlen, who has been with BioWare for 22 of the company's 23 years of operation, has retired from the RPG studio
. In a post on Twitter, Ohlen said that he "loved" his time at BioWare where he recently worked on the new IP anthem. As for why he leaves, Ohlen said, "I have to take a break from the industry and work on something a little smaller and more personal."
After 22 years, I'm I retired from BioWare. I loved my time with Anthem, Star Wars, Dragon Age and Dungeons and Dragons. But I have to pause in the industry and work on something a little smaller and more personal.

In another tweet, Ohlen says that the projects he had the most fun with at BioWare were Baldur & # Gate 1 and 2, for which he served as the lead designer, as well as Neverwinter Nights. "I have been a D & D fan since the age of 10," Ohlen said. In his post-BioWare life, Ohlen will remain in fantastic space. He collaborated with another former BioWare Artistic Director, Jesse Sky, on the book Dragon Lords Odyssey . A "mysterious" writer is also working on it.
The list of Ohlen credits at BioWare is vast. In addition to Anthem, he was the creative director and lead designer on the Knights of the Old Republic and Star Wars: The Old Republic, according to GI.biz. He has also worked on BioWare's famous Dragon Age franchise.
The new BioWare game, Anthem, arrives early next year on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. Unlike many other BioWare games, it is a multiplayer shooter always online with limited dialogue options. We saw it and played it at E3 and we came out impressed – watch the video above to find out more.
In addition to Anthem, BioWare is working on a new Dragon Age game, but it has not been officially announced yet
