News
Boris PiletskiyTranslated with AI from the Russian original.
On October 21, BioWare announced that the studio had been closed. The developers clarified that the production of a new installment of the Mass Effect franchise is being discontinued.
BioWare's social media account published an address to fans — the team thanked the community for their support:
For over 30 years, BioWare has been more than just a studio. It has been a home for 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 shared adventures, BioWare is closing, and work on the next Mass Effect is ceasing in the early stages of development. Writing these words is incredibly difficult. All our focus now is on our incredibly talented team who poured their souls into these games, and on supporting each other through this challenging period. What generations of BioWare employees created together deserves recognition and remembrance. These games became something much more because of you: you played them, debated decisions, fell in love with characters, and made these worlds your own. From all of us at BioWare — thank you for being the most significant part of our story.
