Rumor: EA freezes the number of Mass Effect, BioWare Montreal resized

Apparently the commercial results of Mass Effect: Andromeda did not reach the expectations of Electronic Arts, so much so that the company decided to "freeze" the series with Montreal, the studio responsible for the resize strongly BioWare last game, deciding not to entrust him with more new projects and turning it into a study in support of other teams BioWare.

This was stated is the American blog Kotaku , which reports the riferitogli from sources close to the development team. EA pointed much on Andromeda for the relaunch of the series Mass Effect, but this new episode of the series was heavily criticised by press and fans due to a number of problems due also to the inexperience of the development team, and the result was a game below expectations, though still widely enjoyed in many aspects, to a saga so blazoned.

This does not mean the death of Mass Effect: it is likely that EA wants to now focus on other series and franchise, then rebootare again the series when the time is more propitious times. It will probably take many years.

For now take anyway the news with a grain of salt since it does not come from official sources: we await comments from EA and BioWare.
