NGREA Announces Closure of BioWare and Cancels Next Mass Effect Project
Electronic Arts has closed veteran RPG studio BioWare after over thirty years, halting work on the upcoming Mass Effect.
This summary was updated after the source material changed.
Electronic Arts has officially shuttered long-running role-playing game developer BioWare. The closure brings an end to the studio's operations after more than three decades in the gaming industry. BioWare confirmed the decision through an official announcement published on its website.
Alongside the studio closure, work on the franchise's future has been discontinued. The company confirmed that early development on the next installment in the Mass Effect series has officially been brought to an end.
The shutdown concludes BioWare's extensive history of RPG development under parent publisher EA, abruptly halting progress on its previously planned sci-fi project before it could advance beyond its initial production stages.
