Want a job at BioWare Austin? Now is the perfect time to apply.

Seems EA is already cleaning house, with plenty of careers suddenly opening up at BioWare.

There are also quite a few positions being shifted around internally, and a switch to free to play "has been mentioned more than once".

The Anthem team lost multiple leads, including Jonathan Warner (who was one of the main reasons Anthem was stuck in development limbo), Mark Darrah and Michael Gamble. It is currently being lead by Ben Irving.
I am told that Darrah (and other members of the Anthem team) were moved to work on Dragon Age 4, which has a while ago been rebooted from a single player focused RPG to Anthem with Dragons.

I am also hearing mixed and conflicting information about what EA is planning on doing with Anthem. One source says that it may be joining EA Access, another that it will receive free cosmetics with the service. Nothing is currently 100%, so I don't want to say more than that

The following positions are now available at the Austin branch:

Art
Department Director – Art & Animation (155183)
VFX Artist Contract (154851)

Game Design
Systems Designer II (155357)
Systems Designer I (155358)
