EA is Permanently Shutting Down BioWare, New Mass Effect Game Canceled

BioWare, the developer behind critically-acclaimed games like Baldur's Gate, Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic, Dragon Age, and Mass Effect, just to name a few, is shutting down. BioWare established itself as a premiere RPG studio with its work in the 90s, but reached new heights in the 2000s with Mass Effect and Dragon Age. The studio's most recent release was 2024's Dragon Age: The Veilguard, which earned mostly positive reviews from critics but suffered a more mixed reception from players and didn't meet EA's sales expectations.
