Electronic Arts Shuts BioWare, Cancels Next Mass Effect Game Amid Job Cuts
Electronic Arts (EA) is closing BioWare, the studio behind role-playing franchises like Mass Effect and Dragon Age, and ending early development on the next Mass Effect game. This move is part of a broader restructuring involving about 400 job cuts, including roughly 50 at BioWare. EA plans to focus on fewer large-scale action-adventure games, continuing projects like Marvel's Iron Man and Star Wars Jedi. The company aims to support affected employees and restructure other teams, including the skateboarding game studio.
