Bioware Edmonton

BioWare's legendary Edmonton studio was established in early 1995 by Ray Muzyka, Greg Zeschuk, and Augustine Yip, three doctors who studied together at the University of Alberta. They released their first game in 1996 and went on to release six more in the studio’s first ten years, including Baldur’s Gate, Baldur’s Gate II, MDK2, Neverwinter Nights, Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic, and Jade Empire. In late 2005, BioWare and Pandemic Studios joined forces; two years later, they announced that Electronic Arts, a leading global interactive entertainment publisher, had bought the partnership, with BioWare retaining its culture and brand. The latest blockbuster franchises to come out of Edmonton are Anthem, Mass Effect and Dragon Age. BioWare's games have continually achieved critical and commercial success. BioWare's Edmonton studio is located downtown in the Epcor Tower, making it convenient to get to work by public transit or vehicle. Inside the office, our staff has access to an onsite gym. Every morning, a free breakfast is served, and when we're not making games, there are plenty of opportunities to play them. Staff also participate in many social events including ski trips, tea times, dragon boating, soccer, and board game nights.
