The lead designer on Anthem, Corey Gaspur, has passed away

Damien Mason August 1, 2017 Software & Gaming

BioWare has announced that 9-year veteran Corey Gaspur has passed away. His credits extend across many titles from the company, including his lead designer role in the upcoming online shooter, Anthem.

Gaspur served as a gameplay/level designer at BioWare for over 9 years, credited for many triple A titles such as Mass Effect 2 and 3, Sonic Chronicles: The Dark Brotherhood, Dragon Age: Origins and most DLC.  Aside from design work, he also gained consultation credits for his roles in Mass Effect: Andromeda, Dragon Age: Inquisition, Star Wars Battlefront and Mirror's Edge.

BioWare has yet to release a statement on who will step into Gaspur's shoes on its upcoming shared-world shooter, Anthem but a statement shows that they will be big shoes to fill.

“Corey was a talented designer and an even better person. We offer our condolences to Corey’s family and everyone that knew him,” BioWare wrote. “We will miss you.”

KitGuru Says: We give our condolences to the friends and family of Gaspur and cherish the memories he has helped give us all. Do you have fond memories with any of the titles above?

A new hearing for California’s Protect Our Games Act took place this week, and once again, the Entertainment Software Association (ESA) pushed back hard against the Stop Killing Games movement. The bill aims to require publishers to provide a way for players to continue accessing games after online services are discontinued. While technically feasible in many cases, major publishers have consistently resisted the idea, preferring to shut games down entirely rather than relinquish control.
