Electronic Arts plans to close BioWare’s Edmonton studio, cancel an early-stage Mass Effect project and cut around 400 jobs, or about 3% of its workforce. Bloomberg News reported that roughly 50 of the planned cuts would affect BioWare, citing a person familiar with the company’s plans. EA said it would focus on fewer large-scale action-adventure games while continuing development of Marvel’s Iron Man and the next Star Wars Jedi game. It is also restructuring the team behind skate. into a smaller studio and said it would help affected employees seek other roles within EA. The company was taken private in August in a $55 billion deal led by Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund, Silver Lake and Affinity Partners.
