Mass Effect TV Show Still Going Ahead After EA Cancels Mass Effect 5 And Closes BioWare, Report Says
A report indicates that Electronic Arts has closed BioWare and canceled the development of Mass Effect 5, despite the ongoing production of a Mass Effect TV show for Prime Video. Key creative personnel remain attached to the television project, which has been in development since 2021. The studio closure and game cancellation follow EA's privatization and subsequent cost-saving measures, which also led to layoffs and the halt of other projects like a new The Sims game.
