EA chose to shut down BioWare so it could make Star Wars Battlefront 3 instead, it’s claimed

EA reportedly closed BioWare after being forced to choose between investing in two high-budget sci-fi projects. The publisher decided that having two such action games was too many, leading them to prioritize the development of Star Wars Battlefront 3 over a new Mass Effect game. This strategic decision resulted in the shutdown of BioWare to ensure resources were focused on the Star Wars franchise instead of continuing with the Mass Effect series as originally planned by the studio.
