Well they've had what five or six major financial flops in a row now? ESG money is drying up and studios are being closed down left an right. Whatever their next project is it needs to be a hit otherwise Bioware is probably done.
They haven't produced a decent game in literally more than a decade:
- Dragon Age 2: Rushed, railroady mess that gave you zero meaningful decisions and even though it had little to no plot deviations to account for across the game, ended up being way worse than origins.
- Mass Effect 3: The only decent story parts are the payoffs that the first two games set up and built. Anything original from it is absolutely contrived, fanfiction-tier bullshit (e.g Cerberus are the bad guys, Kai Leng, the Reapers motivations, etc)
- Dragon Age: Inquisition: A single player MMO, with a metric ton of meaningless busywork that amounts to nothing, barely any meaningful decisions and trash characters all around. (And I'm not even getting into all the shit they retconned from Origins)
- ME: Andromeda: The Dragon Age Inquisition of the ME saga. Arguably even worse than that, since the characters and story were so boring that I dropped it around halfway in the game. Hell, it was so bad that not even EA wanted to monetize it further with DLCs.
- Anthem: Got snuffed out after little more than a year and a metric ton of fuckery.
The situation at Bioware is so bad that even the trash developers who got in by Inquisition and Andromeda have jumped ship already. I really doubt either ME4 or DA3 will ever be released, and if they do, they'll probably make Andromeda and Inquisition look like fucking masterpieces.
