EA Reportedly Closed BioWare To Invest In Developing Star Wars Battlefront III Instead Of The Next Mass Effect

Electronic Arts shut down the legendary RPG studio BioWare last week, ending development on an untitled fifth Mass Effect game. Since then, we've seen what appears to be a leaked trailer for the game, which suggests it might have been called Mass Effect Universe, and heard a sneak peek at what Grammy-winning composer Austin Wintory was cooking up for the beloved sci-fi RPG series. Over the past week, fans across the internet have tried to piece together how a publisher could decide to shut down a studio as prolific as BioWare, but according to a new Bloomberg report , the answer is Star Wars.
