A string of tell-tale signs suggest that BioWare co-founder Greg Zeschuk has left the EA-owned company, while EA claim the one-time BioWare Austin general manager is simply following his plan to take some time off after the reorganisation of the company in May of this year.

The LinkedIn profile of BioWare co-founder Greg Zeschuk suggests he left his position as general manager back in May, while a report by German website GamersGlobal claims that neither Greg Zeschuk nor Ray Muzyka were present at a company meeting with other members of the leadership team that took place a few days ago. Their absence was said to be unusual and had not happened before at a meeting of this kind, an internal source is said to have claimed.

Rumours suggest that Zeschuk has been replaced by Major League Gaming CEO Matthew Bromberg and that the studio could be re-branded as EA Austin.

VG247 contacted EA for clarification on Zeschuk’s current position, EA responded to say that it is not issuing any comment at this time.

Thanks, Videogamer.
