She steered the narratives for Deus Ex: Human Revolution and Deus Ex: Mankind Divided, along with work on Guardians of the Universe. Her move signals a strong emphasis on narrative depth as BioWare ramps up its new projects.
Recent updates to DeMarle’s LinkedIn profile confirm her new role as a senior writer at BioWare.

There is a strong likelihood that DeMarle will contribute to the Mass Effect project as it progresses through its early development phase. BioWare has previously sought a dedicated story director to shepherd the space opera’s expansive lore and character-driven arcs, suggesting that she could play a pivotal role in shaping the narrative direction and tonal balance across the game’s chapters and mission design.
Meanwhile, the industry backdrop remains active. At the most recent The Game Awards, Guardians of the Galaxy earned a statuette for Best Plot, underscoring the enduring value of cohesive, character-driven storytelling in contemporary narrative games. This acknowledgment echoes BioWare’s longstanding emphasis on compelling plots and memorable cast members that resonate with players across genres.
