Colin Campbell and Ian Frazier listed as lead designers at BioWare Montreal

At least two Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning developers have ended up at BioWare as leads on the next Mass Effect, according to their LinkedIn Profiles. Colin Campbell, former lead world designer at Big Huge Games, and Ian Frazier, former lead designer, are listed with the new series lead BioWare Montreal, Kotaku discovered.

Epic Games shut Impossible down just half a year after its creation. With Campbell and Frazier's hiring at BioWare Montreal, it looks like at least some of the beleaguered Big Huge developers have finally found a steady home.

The next Mass Effect will use Battlefield 4's impressive Frostbite 3 engine, and it's still very early in development.
