EA’s New Mass Effect Game Is Being Canceled for a Heartbreaking Reason
Electronic Arts is shutting down its BioWare studio and cutting 400 jobs as part of a cost-reduction strategy, leading to the cancellation of the next Mass Effect game. This move, affecting 50 BioWare employees, comes after previous underperforming titles like Mass Effect: Andromeda and Anthem, and a recent sales shortfall for Dragon Age: The Veilguard. EA is also canceling The Sims' Project Lotus, shifting focus to Project Evergreen, while continuing support for franchises like Apex Legends and Battlefield.
