Edmonton, Alberta, Canada (October 9, 2007) – BioWare Corp. is honored to announce that it has been recognized as one of Canada's Top 100 Employers.

"This award is a tremendous honor for BioWare. One of our studio's core values is Quality in our Workplace: creating a great place to work for our passionate, hardworking, creative staff," said Ray Muzyka, co-founder and Chief Executive Officer of BioWare Corp. "We're dedicated to ensuring that BioWare remains an employer of choice for our current employees at BioWare Edmonton, BioWare Austin, and our new employees who come from all over the world!"

With a series of highly anticipated projects in the works, the future looks bright for BioWare.

With studios in both Edmonton, Alberta, and Austin, Texas, BioWare is poised for success with the dark heroic fantasy, Dragon Age, as well as a massively multiplayer online game (MMO) and a new title for the Nintendo DS™ based on the popular Sonic the Hedgehog franchise.

"The key to our success has always been our employees, and we've worked hard to create an amazing environment to attract and support the industry's best talent," said Greg Zeschuk, co-founder and President of BioWare Corp. "By recognizing that our most valuable assets are the people who make it all happen, we will continue to take the time to nurture top talent, and let that talent work its magic."
