Electronic Arts has merged BioWare Montreal and Motive Studios. Probably, this decision is due to the weak results of the Mass Effect: Andromeda role-playing game developed by BioWare Montreal.
“We are developing studio collaboration on key projects like never before. We have several major development tasks, for which we have combined BioWare Montreal with Motive Studios. There are many interesting opportunities for each team member here,” EA commented on this decision.
Recall that in May of this year, BioWare Montreal announced the suspension of work on the Mass Effect role-playing series and announced the reduction of the studio to an auxiliary unit, and a number of its employees were already transferred to Motive Studios to work on the Star Wars: Battlefront II shooter, which is scheduled for release in November this year.
