News of EA’s decision to close BioWare, the studio behind Mass Effect and Dragon Age, emerged late last month. Soon afterward, an unfinished teaser trailer leaked, offering a glimpse of what the team had been developing. EA reportedly closed the studio to invest in more Star Wars projects, including Star Wars Battlefront III.
