Electronic Arts Shuts Down BioWare, Cancels Next Mass Effect Game, Cuts 400 Jobs
Electronic Arts (EA) is closing BioWare, the studio behind role-playing franchises like Mass Effect and Dragon Age, and cancelling early development of the next Mass Effect game. This decision is part of a broader restructuring that includes cutting about 400 jobs globally, with roughly 50 at BioWare. EA plans to focus on fewer large-scale projects, including Marvel's Iron Man and Star Wars Jedi games. The move follows EA's recent $55 billion leveraged buyout and aims to reduce costs and streamline operations.
