Amazon’s Mass Effect series stays in development
BioWare’s shutdown and the canceled fifth Mass Effect game will not affect Amazon’s live-action series, which is still moving forward with the same creative team.
AI-generated summary based on reporting by Kotaku.
Electronic Arts shut down BioWare, the studio behind Mass Effect and Dragon Age, and also canceled the in-development fifth Mass Effect game.
That move does not appear to affect Amazon’s upcoming live-action Mass Effect series. According to IGN’s sources, Amazon plans to keep developing the show at Amazon MGM Studios, and the creatives attached to it are still involved.
Very little is known about the series so far. It is set after the original Mass Effect trilogy starring Commander Shepard.
BioWare previously said the games were meant to reflect the player’s own story, and that without the player, that story should not be retold. Even with the game side affected, the TV project is still moving ahead.
