Mass Effect series may have been put on hold by EA

---

Sources close to Kotaku are suggesting EA have decided to put the Mass Effect series on hiatus after Mass Effect: Andromeda’s bumpy launch earlier in the year.

As well putting any plans for future Mass Effect games “on ice”, the sources are also reporting that EA is downsizing Andromeda developer BioWare Montreal and turning it into a support studio. It is said that a large number of BioWare Montreal staff are being relocated to other EA developers, such as fellow Montreal studio Motive, who are one of three developers currently working on Star Wars Battlefront 2.

Remaining BioWare Montreal employees are said to be either working on Andromeda’s multiplayer, or supporting development of other BioWare titles, including the project currently operating under the codename Dylan, which is being headed up by the main studio in Edmonton.
 
As Kotaku point out, it is highly unlikely EA is killing off the Mass Effect series entirely, with the publisher seemingly keen to let the series “sit” for a while after the lukewarm reception of Andromeda.
