Mass Effect: Andromeda's lead writer, Chris Shlerf, has revealed that he's left the project and is now working at Bungie on Destiny. Going by Shlerf's tweets on the matter, it would appear as though his role has been fulfilled when it comes to BioWare's latest, with him leaving on good terms with the Canadian developer.
"Sincerely one of the best experiences of my career - I'm incredibly grateful to have worked with such talented and truly wonderful human beings," he wrote in a rather warm message. Shlerf went on to say that he thinks Andromeda will "blow people away", and that he "couldn't be prouder" to be a part of it. That's filled our weekly quota for "the next Mass Effect is going to be good" tweets, then.
Before writing at BioWare, Shlerf worked on Halo 4, so it's safe to say that the man knows his sci-fi. With any luck, he'll help bring some better writing to Destiny's future endeavours.

E3 2016 needs to see
Mass Effect 4 footage and release window.
Zelda U footage and 2016 release date
Kingdom Hearts 3 footage and release window
Good grief we've been waiting long enough.
@JaxonH I think you'll definitely get the first, but the second and third are long shots!
whoop ! Destiny 2 with a proper story yes please!
@ShogunRok be honest, this is basically Christmas for you, isn't it?
Such good news!
@TripleGK the game has had a very long development cycle. It's not surprising that many staff are leaving, as their roles are likely done now. Once it's in Alpha it's not going to need people to design ships, or concept art, for example.
Same with the story. If it's 85% done then they may be finished with that side of it.
I'm not an expert or anything, but that's my theory.
@JaxonH kingdom hearts probably won't happen as far I'm aware it's not out til December 17 / March 18. Square Enix are focusing in getting ff15 finished this year and ff7 remake and there's the new star ocean game out soon
Halo 4 = terrible story.
I'm worried for ME yet again
I would trade all my games to have a new Mass Effect right now...
Started Mass Effect recently after having never played them , really enjoying it so far , hopefully I can complete all 3 before this Andromeda thing releases.
Gosh, I thought Halo 4's campaign was pretty terrible. : S
Wishing they changed the control scheme of the 1st Mass Effect. I'm not exactly flying through the game on PS3.
A tad worrying, but I suppose it's probable he simply finished his job writing the story and moved on. I hope.
@Mickael486 yea I'm finding lots of glitches too , had a very frustrating time defeating that Krogan boss right after busting Liara out of that jail thing. Loving it though ,warts 'n all as they say.
@Mickael486 Singularity is your friend but I bet you're playing as a male soldier aren't you?
What? Destiny has a story to write?
@ApostateMage I'm always a soldier in the Mass Effect series. Lol whether I'm playing as a Male or Female Shepard. I can't wait for Andromeda. Hopefully the new character will be solid.
