In a surprise late last week, the development director on Mass Effect: Andromeda, Chris Wynn, has announced his departure from Bioware. Wynn did not cite any reasons for the departure. Bioware issued a short statement that indicated they wished Wynn well and that ME:A is in steaming ahead for a (hopefully) late 2016 release.

It is with a heavy heart today to say that I am moving on from BioWare and Mass Effect: Andromeda, and returning to the USA.

I will join the passionate N7 community and will eagerly await the release of Andromeda with equal enthusiasm. Thank you and Happy Holidays!
