Drew Karpyshyn has left BioWare for the second time after rejoining the studio in 2016 and revealing he was working on Anthem in mid-2017. He had previously left BW in 2012 to "pursue his own projects". Karpyshyn will be working on "a number of other projects, including more original novels, an original sci-fi graphic novel I'm co-creating, and freelance gaming work". He has also revealed he's "officially working with Fogbank Entertainment & FoxNet Games", but has little more to say about it.
Karpyshyn has been working on Anthem up to today's announcement.
FogBank is a division of 21st Century Fox which was acquired by Disney. It has previously worked on a VR game called Crisis on the Planet of the Apes.
