Multi EA put Mass Effect on hold and scale back studio

The ever-reliable Jason Schreier of Kotaku reports that the franchise has been put on indefinite hiatus, and developer BioWare Montreal has been scaled down.

According to sources, many of the studio’s employees have been moved to nearby EA Motive, where work is ongoing on Star Wars Battlefront II. The remaining staff at BioWare Montreal will help to support BioWare's other projects, including a new intellectual property which could very well be announced at E3 2017 next month, even if it doesn’t appear to be releasing any time soon.

EA don't half make you pay the price for a poor release. The game wasn't great but wasn't as bad as making the studio a support studio and stopping any new entries in the Mass Effect franchise for a while.

Unfortunate, but hopefully there will be more Mass Effect games down the line.

Think whats best is for them to remaster the original trilogy sometime soon as they are regarded as great games, which will hopefully improve the reputation of the game series. Then after a bit of a break they might return.
