EA is shutting down BioWare
EA is closing BioWare, the legendary studio behind Mass Effect, Dragon Age, and Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic, as part of a restructuring that also cuts around 400 jobs, according to Bloomberg. EA has also halted development on the next Mass Effect game. Executives Cam Weber and David Tinson called it a decision they "do not take lightly," framing the move as a response to intensifying competition and shifting player habits.
BioWare is a legendary studio that helped define the role-playing genre, and we do not take this decision lightly.
