<p><em>Mass Effect: Andromeda </em>is set to be released in Holiday 2016, but people seem to already be moving on from the game. One of the writers on board for the upcoming sci-fi epic, Chris Schlerf, has departed from the company. This is the second notable departure from the game, and third from the company. Last month <a href="https://bagogames.com/david-gaider-joins-beamdog-as-creative-director/">saw David Gaider leave Bioware</a> for Beamdog, and December had the director of <em>Mass Effect: Andromeda</em>, Chris Wynn, <a href="http://ca.ign.com/articles/2015/12/28/mass-effect-andromeda-director-chris-wynn-leaves-bioware">leave the game</a>.</p>

<p>While Chris Schlerf has left the game behind, he is still going to be delving into a world of science fiction. This time, it will be to help Guardians fight the Darkness in <em>Destiny</em>, as Schlerf also <a href="https://twitter.com/schlerf/status/699403406008410112">stated on Twitter</a> that he would be heading to Bungie. This is great news for <em>Destiny </em>fans, as the game has seen a lot of flack lately from its lack of content. <a href="https://bagogames.com/taking-back-light-destiny-taken-king-review/">Our review of </a><a href="https://bagogames.com/taking-back-light-destiny-taken-king-review/"><em>The Taken King</em></a>, <em>Destiny</em>&#8216;s last expansion, highlighted the interesting story and compelling writing, which Schlerf will now get to help craft for the future of the game. Bungie <a href="https://www.bungie.net/en/News/News?aid=44361">recently gifted fans</a> free high light-level Ghosts for completing certain tasks in their Crimson Days events, as a way of showing their appreciation.</p>
<p>Chris Schlerf has also previously written for <em>Halo 4</em> with 343 Games, who took the series over after Bungie moved onto <em>Destiny</em>. <em>Mass Effect: Andromeda </em>is scheduled to be released in Holiday 2016 for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC.</p>
