A BioWare documentary is set to arrive next year
Massive Effect: The BioWare Story started filming two years before EA shut down the studio.
A documentary titled "Massive Effect: The BioWare Story" is set to premiere next year, according to Deadline. The film began filming two years prior to Electronic Arts' decision to shut down the renowned gaming studio. This documentary, commissioned by Canada's Super Channel, aims to chronicle the 31-year history of BioWare, with founders Ray Muzyka, Greg Zeschuk, and Augustine Yip all appearing in the film.
Additionally, former BioWare CEO John Riccitiello, director Casey Hudson, FemShep voice actor Jennifer Hale, and various BioWare developers feature prominently.
The project's producers, led by producer Shane Fennessey, expressed their responsibility to cover the studio's final chapter following EA's harsh closure. Fans are encouraged to contribute their memories and content to the film via a dedicated website. EA's decision to terminate BioWare stemmed from the studio's last games failing to meet sales expectations.
Despite the studio having around 50 employees after previous layoffs, it was in the initial stages of developing the next Mass Effect game. EA opted to allocate resources to Star Wars Battlefront 3 instead, which remains unrevealed.
