BioWare confirms that the studio is shutting down as well as the next Mass Effect. What a terrible shame for a potential competitor to No Man's Sky and Starfield.

Other notable BioWare games are Neverwinter Nights, Jade Empire, Dragon Age, and Star Wars: Knight of the Old Republic. Dragon Age was a revolutionary RPG that meshed turn-based and real-time battle with a great storyline. Mass Effect was a memorable action RPG trilogy with an engaging story. Neverwinter Nights had deep RPG with Dungeon and Dragon elements. Then Jade Empire was a unique martial arts RPG for the XBox.

It feels like Westwood and Maxis all over again. What would be the future of Mass Effect (or IPs above) in the future? That is the glaring question. Not to mention Saudi Arabia has a 93% ownership from a recent buy-out of EA.
