EA Shuts Down BioWare, Cancels Next Mass Effect Game

For more than 30 years, BioWare was more than just a studio. It was a home for the storytellers, developers, and players who breathed life into our worlds. Baldur’s Gate. Neverwinter Nights. Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic. Dragon Age. Mass Effect. Anthem. Now, after more than three decades of adventures together, BioWare is closing, and work on the next Mass Effect is ending at an early stage of development. These words are incredibly hard to write. Right now, all of our attention is on our incredibly talented team, who put their hearts into these games, and on supporting one another through this difficult time. What generations of BioWare employees built together deserves to be recognized and remembered. These games became so much more because of you: you played them, argued over the choices you made, fell in love with the characters, and made these worlds your own. From all of us at BioWare, thank you for being the most meaningful part of our story.
