EA Shuts Down BioWare, Cancels Next Mass Effect and The Sims Project Lotus in Major Layoffs

Nova Global News

Here is what the page “EA Shuts Down BioWare, Cancels Next Mass Effect and The Sims Project Lotus in Major Layoff” contains. Electronic Arts is closing legendary RPG studio BioWare, the developer behind Dragon Age, Mass Effect, Baldur's Gate, and Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic. The shutdown is part of a broader restructuring that will see about 400 employees laid off—roughly 3% of EA's workforce—including 50 at BioWare.

According to Bloomberg, which viewed an internal staff letter, EA chief operating officer David Tinson and chief studios officer Cam Weber said the company made a 'hard look' at its business and canceled several projects, including the next Mass Effect game, which was in early development, and a planned Sims title codenamed Project Lotus. Resources from that project will be diverted to another unannounced game, Project Evergreen. For the complete material, the listing points back to the source inside the network.
