EA Reportedly Chose Battlefront 3 Over Mass Effect 5

Mass Effect 5 reportedly lost to Battlefront 3 at EA.

Bloomberg's Jason Schreier reports Battlefront 3 hasn't even started development. That's not the whole story. EA owes $18 billion after its buyout, and executives reportedly saw Star Wars as more predictable.

BioWare's Dragon Age The Veilguard reportedly missed sales expectations by 50%.

The context: In 2022, EA ditched the FIFA name to bet on a brand it owned. Now it's reportedly backing Disney's license over a series it owns outright. For you, Mass Effect is off the map.

This report is unconfirmed. We will update it when it is confirmed or denied.
