While we reported on Mass Effect: Andromeda’s Development Director’s departure from BioWare late last year, it seems that wasn’t the only person who left the studio.
Mass Effect: Andromeda Lead Writer Chris Schlerf — who was the Lead Writer for Halo 4 –has confirmed that he has left the project and studio to join Bungie.
He confirmed this in a series of tweets:
To confirm what some folks asked about a few months back, I am no longer working on ME:A at BioWare Montreal.

Sincerely one of the best experiences of my career-I’m incredibly grateful to have worked w/ such talented & truly wonderful human beings.

Think MEA is really gonna blow people away; couldn’t be prouder to be part of it, & excited like a lil kid to play the final when it’s out.

All that said, very happy to be back in Seattle, working with this scrappy little company called Bungie that some of you may have heard of.

Think we might have some interesting stories to tell…

We wish Schlerf luck as he works on his “destiny” at Bungie.
Mass Effect: Andromeda is set to come out on the PS4, Xbox One and PC later this year.
