Players Beg CD Projekt RED to Buy Mass Effect and Dragon Age After BioWare Closure
Translated with AI from the Russian original.
After BioWare's closure, Mass Effect and Dragon Age fans are urging EA to sell the rights to the series to CD Projekt RED. Former studio producer Mark Darrah believes that the publisher's financial problems could make such a scenario more realistic.
Along with BioWare, its franchises are also under threat: an early prototype of Mass Effect 5 was scrapped, and the future of Dragon Age and Jade Empire remains uncertain. Players hope that the rights to the series will go to the creators of The Witcher and Cyberpunk 2077. Some are literally begging CD Projekt RED to buy the famous series.
According to Darrah, there are no longer any people at EA working on these franchises. This could push the company to sell the rights, although it could also postpone them for decades.
After the $55 billion acquisition deal, EA's new owners are looking for ways to cut costs and increase revenue. Selling major gaming brands to third-party companies could be a quick source of money.
CD Projekt RED has long been respected by former BioWare colleagues and knows how to create large-scale role-playing games with branching storylines. Xbox is also featured in the discussion: the new head of the division, Asha Sharma, seeks to strengthen player trust, and such a deal could help her.
