BioWare confirmed it is closing, while Bloomberg reports EA will cut about 400 jobs and end early development on the next Mass Effect.

Quick Report

BioWare confirmed that it is closing and that early development on the next Mass Effect project is ending. Bloomberg reports the move is part of roughly 400 planned EA job cuts, including about 50 positions at BioWare.

The closure is a major change for the studio behind the Mass Effect and Dragon Age series. EA has not publicly detailed what will happen to BioWare's remaining staff or intellectual property; the reported project cancellation concerns early development of the next Mass Effect, not the status of every franchise or existing game.
