Gary McKay, General Manager, BioWare: "Hello Everyone,
Today, we are turning towards the future and preparing for the next chapter in BioWare’s story. As we announced in August 2023, we are changing how we build games to meet the needs of our upcoming projects and hold ourselves to the highest quality standards.
Now that Dragon Age: The Veilguard has been released, a core team at BioWare is developing the next Mass Effect game under the leadership of veterans from the original trilogy, including Mike Gamble, Preston Watamaniuk, Derek Watts, Parrish Ley, and others."
For nearly two decades, GOG has built its identity around DRM-free releases and classic games that actually work on modern PCs. With initiatives like the GOG Preservation Program and One-Click Mods, the platform is going far beyond simply selling old titles — it’s actively maintaining them, fixing them, and making sure they don’t quietly disappear as technology moves on.
Blizzard reveals plans to speed up Diablo releases with more frequent expansions and updates as the franchise moves toward a live-service future.
All I want is a physical disc release of remastered D2 that doesn't require online check-ins.
I've lost complete interest. Too much FOMO with seasons as it is, now it's expansions? No thanks.
Gamigo plans to relaunch the classic MMORPG Medieval as part of its MMO comeback strategy. Rift remains listed in the publisher’s active portfolio.
Matthew McConaughey: alright alright alright.
So... next Mass Effect will be another The Veilguard... Personally, I don't like the idea. But maybe it has its public. Good luck.
"Today’s news will see BioWare become a more agile, focused studio that produces unforgettable RPGs."
Agile is definitely an euphemism for layoffs.
Careful Gary, don't ever EVER stand in front of an EA exec if they're taking you for a walk. Hope they've renovated their graveyard to make it a little more cosey. Seems to me that going by the news, they've got one foot in the grave . Another cautionary tale of why independent studios are better off staying independent, most of what Bioware their name have long since gone.
