Documentary Chronicles BioWare's History and Closure
A documentary, 'Massive Effect: The BioWare Story', is in production and expected to be released next year. The film will detail the 31-year history of the game development studio BioWare, which was recently shut down by Electronic Arts. Production for the documentary began two years prior to the studio's closure, allowing the filmmakers to capture its final period.
Coverage and Participants
Commissioned by Canada's Super Channel, the documentary aims to tell the story of BioWare's origins and its rise as a prominent gaming studio. It will feature appearances from BioWare founders Ray Muzyka, Greg Zeschuk, and Augustine Yip, alongside director Casey Hudson, voice actor Jennifer Hale, former EA CEO John Riccitiello, and various BioWare developers.
Fan Involvement and Studio Closure Context
Fans of BioWare are invited to contribute to the documentary by submitting photos, videos, cosplay, and fan art through a dedicated website. The closure of BioWare by EA followed several games not meeting sales expectations. The studio had approximately 50 employees and was in the early stages of developing the next Mass Effect game when it was shut down. EA reportedly shifted resources to Star Wars Battlefront 3 instead of funding Mass Effect 5.
