BioWare has said it’s looking at ways to improve the studio’s culture after a new report revealed worrying crunch issues during the troubled development of Anthem.
According to Kotaku, many BioWare staff members suffered brutal crunch during the development of Anthem, which was critically panned upon launch earlier this year.
BioWare is described as a studio “in crisis”, with reports of working having to take “stress leave” to tackle mental health issues brought about by crunch. “Depression and anxiety are an epidemic within Bioware,” said one source.
