Anthem’s lead producer leaves Bioware after eight years

A leading producer at BioWare who had a major hand in the company’s action-RPG Anthem is leaving the company.

Ben Irving made the announcement through a series of tweets in which he said he is leaving to take a position with another company.

” After eight amazing years at Bioware I have made the decision to move on and have accepted an exciting opportunity at another gaming company. Since the first time, I played Baldursgate many many years ago. Bioware was the dream place I always wanted to work.

“I will forever be grateful to all the people who gave me the chance to work on great products with amazing people. I believe Anthem has a bright future – there is a great team working on it and I look forward to following its progress (and playing it!) from the sidelines.

“I have really enjoyed interacting with the Anthem community – Streams, Twitter and Reddit. Through the good times and the tough times. You all are in great hands with @Darokaz and @untdrew (and have been for some time now). I wish nothing but the best for all of you.”
