Veilguard failed because EA wanted a game a year, its own lead says. Mark Darrah led every Dragon Age. He left BioWare in late 2020, and he has now broken it down. "The project ran without its most senior leadership when I was on Anthem, from 2017 until 2019". EA's slate had Inquisition, Andromeda, Anthem and Dragon Age 4 shipping yearly from 2013 on
