BioWare head Gary McKay announced a restructuring at the studio. Some developers were reassigned to various EA divisions where they will perform similar work, while other positions at the studio were simply eliminated, giving affected employees time to join other internal EA teams.
McKay noted that BioWare is currently fully focused on working on the next Mass Effect, which is why the need arose to “rethink how BioWare works.”
“At this stage of development, we do not require the support of the entire studio. We have incredibly talented people at BioWare, which is why we have worked hard over the past few months to find roles for our colleagues on other EA teams.”
The reorganization will help BioWare become a more “agile and focused” studio, McKay believes.
