EA announced layoffs, BioWare is shutting down, and the upcoming Mass Effect has also been canceled.

Electronic Arts announced significant layoffs, affecting around 400 employees, including 50 from BioWare, which will be shut down. The new Mass Effect project has also been canceled. EA's decision follows a review of sustainable and profitable projects, leading to a focus on successful franchises like sports games, Apex Legends, and Battlefield. BioWare, known for classics like Dragon Age and Mass Effect, has struggled since the release of Dragon Age: The Veilguard. The studio's closure marks a significant shift for EA, especially after its acquisition by Saudi investors, raising concerns about future projects and financial stability.
