Sucumba Games stated that EA was closing BioWare after more than three decades, and that the decision, announced on the 21st, included the cancellation of the next Mass Effect game, which was still in the early stages of development. According to the author, the measure was part of a restructuring at EA following the company's acquisition by a consortium of investors led by the Saudi Public Investment Fund. The author noted that BioWare had built its reputation with complex narratives, memorable characters, and choices that influenced the stories. Among the studio's franchises, he mentioned Baldur's Gate, Neverwinter Nights, Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic, Jade Empire, Dragon Age, Mass Effect, and Anthem. Sucumba Games also reported that, in a statement, BioWare had recalled its more than 30 years of history, thanked players for bringing the worlds created by the studio to life, and stated that its priority was to support employees during the transition. #BioWare #RPG #MassEffect (translated)
