BioWare lead writer Drew Karpyshyn has announced that he’s leaving the developer to focus on writing novels. Aside from writing the scripts for such BioWare games as Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic, Mass Effect 2 and Star Wars: The Old Republic, Karpyshyn had penned licensed tie-in novels for BioWare’s Mass Effect, Baldur’s Gate, and The Old Republic games.
“Revan” is one of Karpyshyn’s latest tie-in novels.”I’m leaving to focus more time and energy on my novels and other non-video game related projects. But even though I’ll no longer be working on games for BioWare, I’m not going to be severing all ties with them. Many of my closest friends still work at the company, and I’m also in the process of writing the next Star Wars: The Old Republic novel, though I can’t say too much about it yet”, Karpyshyn posted on his blog.
Karpyshyn will be appearing at A-Kon XXIII in Dallas from the 1st to 3rd June, and the Star Wars Celebration VI, which will be held in Orlando from the 23rd to 26th August.
