Electronic Arts is reportedly shutting down BioWare and cutting around 400 jobs, according to Engadget, in changes that would also affect other game-development operations.
Engadget reported that Electronic Arts is shutting down BioWare and cutting around 400 jobs. The report does not establish the exact number of affected employees, their locations, or the timing and scope of the changes.
The report also said Full Circle, the studio developing Skate, would be reduced to a more focused, smaller team. Separately, Engadget reported that a Sims project had been paused, without identifying the specific project involved.
The claims are based on Engadget's reporting, and the supplied material does not include an official statement from Electronic Arts confirming the changes. The report therefore leaves the final scale and timing of the restructuring unestablished.
