BIOWARE Game Development



Bioware is a game development corporation founded by Greg Zeschuk, Ray Muzyka, and Augustine Yip started the company in Canada in 1995. Their first commercial game, Shattered Steel, was released in 1996 and co-developed with Pyrotek Game Studios. Shattered Steel noticed by Interplay Productions, a game publisher, for its realistic graphics which paved the way for Bioware to sign a multi-game agreement with IP.

Founders of Bioware


Some if their most famous games include Baldur's Gate, MDK2, Neverwinter Nights, Star Wars : Knights of the Old Republic, Jade Empire, Mass Effect and Dragon Age. In 2008, Bioware was acquired by EA Games to act as its own division. This acquistition allows Bioware access to EA's audio team members but, they seem to mostly use their own team of sound designers. In Mass Effect 2, for example, Bioware used their own audio team of 8 to design the sound, dialog, music and effects but, used a combination of Bioware's and EA Games' sound designers for the Star Wars games.
