EA may sell Mass Effect after BioWare closure - former producer explains why
Translated with AI from the Russian original.
Former BioWare executive producer Mark Darrah believes that the studio's closure increases the chances of selling the rights to Mass Effect and Dragon Age, but EA is unlikely to do so anytime soon.
After BioWare's closure, Electronic Arts is more likely to sell the rights to Mass Effect, Dragon Age, and other studio series, according to former executive producer Mark Darrah. However, the company is unlikely to do so anytime soon.
Remember, BioWare is 100% owned by EA. EA owns all the franchises. It owns Dragon Age, Mass Effect, and Jade Empire. [...] Now no one at EA is working on BioWare games, and most likely, no one will. This may increase the likelihood of selling the rights, although the company may simply try to forget about these series and hide them in the archive.
According to him, EA is currently focused on cost reduction, not on finding new sources of income. After being acquired by a consortium of investors for $55 billion, the company incurred significant debt and will likely first focus on cost optimization.
Later, EA may consider selling unused franchises, including Command & Conquer and Dungeon Keeper. However, Mass Effect may be retained and licensed to third-party studios. According to available data, Amazon MGM Studios' plans for a screen adaptation of the series remain in force.
