Consejo de EA: siga el liderazgo de Larian Studios para el éxito

Autor:Kristen Actualizar:Feb 21,2025

Los ex desarrolladores de BioWare han criticado la evaluación de EA de Dragon Age: Dreadwolf's Underformance y la posterior reestructuración de BioWare. El CEO de EA, Andrew Wilson, atribuyó el fracaso del juego de no resonar con una audiencia lo suficientemente amplia, citando la necesidad de "características del mundo compartido y un compromiso más profundo" junto con fuertes narraciones. Esta declaración, junto con la reestructuración de BioWare para centrarse únicamente en Mass Effect 5, ha llevado a despidos y la transferencia de algún personal.

El desarrollo del juego estuvo plagado de desafíos, incluidos los despidos y la partida del personal clave, como lo informaron anteriormente IGN y Bloomberg. Las fuentes internas de BioWare, según Jason Schreier, describieron la finalización del juego como milagrosa dada el impulso inicial de EA para elementos de servicio en vivo, luego se invirtió.

Los comentarios de Wilson implicaron que la incorporación de aspectos multijugador podría haber aumentado las ventas. Sin embargo, los informes de IGN revelaron un cambio de desarrollo significativo de un juego multijugador planificado a un juego de rol para un solo jugador.

Los destacados ex desarrolladores de Bioware expresaron sus opiniones en las redes sociales. David Gaider, ex líder narrativo, criticó la conclusión de EA de que el fracaso del juego surgió de la falta de elementos de servicio vivo, lo que sugiere que esta era una explicación miope y egoísta. Argumentó que EA debería emular el éxito de Larian Studios con Baldur's Gate 3, centrándose en las fortalezas centrales de la franquicia Dragon Age que previamente impulsó fuertes ventas.

Mike Laidlaw, ex director creativo, expresó que habría renunciado si estaba presionado para alterar fundamentalmente una querida IP para un solo jugador en una experiencia puramente multijugador. Destacó lo absurdo de tal demanda, especialmente teniendo en cuenta su implementación anterior.

El resultado sugiere que el futuro de la franquicia de Dragon Age es incierto, ya que BioWare ahora está completamente comprometido con Mass Effect 5. El CFO de EA, Stuart Canfield, reconoció el panorama de la industria en evolución y el bajo rendimiento financiero de Dreadwolf como razones para la reasignación de recursos hacia proyectos de potencial más alto. , un movimiento que, según los informes, redujo significativamente el tamaño del personal de BioWare.

As of now, there is no official announcement from Larian Studios or any major publisher confirming that Divinity: Original Sin 2 will receive a free upgrade for the PS5, Xbox Series X|S, or Nintendo Switch 2.
However, here’s what is known:

Divinity: Original Sin 2 has already been released on PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and Nintendo Switch (with enhanced versions on the Switch OLED and Switch 2).
The enhanced version of the game for Nintendo Switch 2 (or the upcoming Switch 2 hardware) has not been officially confirmed by Nintendo or Larian Studios.
The game was initially released on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC. Later, a next-gen upgrade was released for PS5 and Xbox Series X|S, which included performance improvements, higher resolution, and faster load times. This was not a free upgrade—it required purchasing the new-gen version separately, though players who owned the original on those platforms could get it at a discount.
For the Nintendo Switch, an enhanced version was released in 2022 (for Switch OLED and later for Switch 2), but again, not as a free upgrade.

So, while fans are hopeful for a free upgrade across all new platforms, including a potential free upgrade for the Switch 2, no such official free update has been announced.
👉 Bottom line: Divinity: Original Sin 2 has received enhanced versions on new hardware, but not as free upgrades. Always check official sources like Larian Studios’ website or platform-specific announcements (Sony, Microsoft, Nintendo) for the latest.
Stay tuned—Larian often surprises fans with new content, but as of now, a free upgrade across PS5, Xbox Series, and Switch 2 is not confirmed.
