While Electronic Arts proceeds to an internal hasting in order to secure its future, could that of Mass Effect 5 also be threatened?
In the space of a month, Electronic Arts Has dismissed several hundred people, closed studios and had many development projects canceled, including Black Panther, as well as a new Titanfall game. So who Bioware continues to cross the desert after the new disappointment Dragon Age The Veilguardshould we worry about the fate of Mass Effect 5 ? Things are likely to seriously move in the future with its publisher. Let us study the situation more closely with our omni-tool.
Mass Effect 5 would it also be on an ejectable seat?
Like a reaper, Electronic Arts has seriously housed in its ranks lately. After the very disappointing estimated figures of The Veilguard by its publisher, Bioware paid the price, part of its developers having been relocated to other projects such as Battlefield 6. However, the production of Mass Effect 5 seemed to follow its course quietly, for a potentially outing courant 2028/2029. To everyone’s surprise, it was the promising Black Panther game by the talented Studio Cliffhanger Games who put the key under the door this week.
Another major solo game, a format that does not seem to have the favors of Electronic Arts. Thus, despite many signs of the contrary, we can legitimately worry about the fate of other similar titles such as Star Wars Jedi 3 or Mass Effect 5. After the hecatomb of Cliffhanger Games, Laura Miele, president of EA Entertainment, also sent an internal e-mail, recovered by IGN. You can read there that ” The company will focus on a small handful of franchises and place its creative energy behind the most significant growth opportunities ».
Among these visibly carrying franchises within EA, Laura Miele cites in particular SimsSkate et Apex Legends. Or a license that we have seen for years with Skate, and a Battle Royale of Respawn Entertainment which would recently be losing momentum. That said, the publisher would intend to continue to massively support major projects such as Star Wars Jedi 3, Mass Effect 5 or even Iron Man in development at Motive. In any case, we cross our fingers for their future, as well as that of their developers.
