BioWare Montreal Has Been Integrated into EA Motive

BioWare Montreal's gamble with the Mass Effect franchise did not pay off, and the studio is still paying for it: leftover staff members have now been moved to EA's Motive Studios, which is working alongside DICE on Battlefront II, as well as a brand-new IP. I initially used words such as "dissolved" and "assimilated," but it sounds like BioWare Montreal still exists, at least in name. ...EA Chief Financial Officer Blake Jorgensen said BioWare Montreal has been moved into the EA Motive studio to help Jade Raymond's team develop a new IP. "We're building out a new studio in Montréal, as we've told everyone. And we've hired over 100 people into that studio that are brand-new to EA. This is to build the new IP around Jade Raymond's team that she's been building. I was in that studio last month. And it's a wonderful new addition to our team. And we brought our BioWare Montréal team into that same facility. So they now all sit in one new studio together," Mr. Jorgensen said during the call.
