UPDATE 4pm UK: Dragon Age game director Corinne Busche has now confirmed her departure from BioWare and EA in a statement to Eurogamer. In it, Busche said she had left the studio for a new post elsewhere, after being offered an oppurtunity to build a fresh RPG she "couldn't turn down".

A weird week for BioWare just got a little weirder, as EA reveals in its new quarterly financial statement that Dragon Age: The Veilguard unperformed sales expectations by 50% for the company's 2025 fiscal year third quarter.

This also means EA has cut its expectations for the 2025 fiscal year. Originally, it was aiming to make $7.5 billion to $7.8 billion (about £6.1 billion to £6.33 billion) by the end of March, but that target has dropped to a range of $7 billion to $7.15 billion (about £5.7 billion to £5.8 billion).

Shares of Electronic Arts Inc. plunged 18% Thursday morning, the biggest decline since 2008, after the gaming company warned its financial results would be weaker than expected due to poor sales results of two titles released over the holidays.

EA has revealed that two of its flagship titles, namely Dragon Age: The Veilguard and EA Sports FC 25, underperformed last quarter.

EA has lowered its financial forecast for its current fiscal year, pointing to the 'underperformance' of EA Sports FC 2025 - which it says accounts for the "majority" of the shortfall - alongside lower-than-expected interest in Dragon Age: The Veilguard.
