EA Appears to Have Quietly Pulled Mass Effect Content From Battlefield 6 Following BioWare Shutdown
EA seems to have quietly pulled a collection of Mass Effect content for Battlefield 6 just days after it shuttered series developer BioWare.
EA has quietly removed Mass Effect content from Battlefield 6 just after BioWare was shut down. Fans noticed themed content featuring sci-fi weaponry, a Normandy ship weapon charm, and N7-branded items added to Battlefield's cosmetic menus during Season 5. With Dead Space crossover added at the same time, and N7 Day approaching, fans suspected the surprise drop would happen soon.
However, EA announced a few days later they had no plans for BioWare or Mass Effect. The studio's remaining team was suddenly laid off two days ago, leaving fans bewildered and saddened by the cancellation of Mass Effect 5. EA pulled the Mass Effect content from Battlefield 6 to avoid upsetting fans grieving the demise of the sci-fi RPG franchise.
Despite the removal, some hope the franchise's TV series on Amazon Prime Video will still continue, and that the IP and some studio members could find a new home.
