Background
EA shut down BioWare, ending the Mass Effect and Dragon Age franchises and cancelling Mass Effect 5. Earlier in the studio's history, Mass Effect: Andromeda received a tepid reception, while Anthem and Dragon Age: The Veilguard went through messy development cycles involving staff turnover and changes in direction. The first full trailer for Dragon Age: The Veilguard also ended in a bar fight and introduced a new art style that drew controversy.
