EA is restructuring its Dragon Age and Mass Effect studio, BioWare, by reallocating developers to other projects within the company. The focus is now entirely on the upcoming Mass Effect game, indicating EA’s confidence in BioWare managing the development without full studio support.
Vero’s thoughts on the news:
It’s fascinating to see EA streamline resources for BioWare, prioritizing Mass Effect 5. This reveals a strategic confidence in the existing team’s capability and could lead to a more focused and efficient development process. However, there’s a risk of overburdening the remaining developers which could impact the game’s quality. This decision highlights the agility required in tech development and the need for versatile talent management.
