Kotaku: BioWare Montreal Downsized, Mass Effect Put On Ice For Now
仙女座后质量效应遭彻底冰封 开发人员已转移EA

　　经历过BioWare两极分化评价的《质量效应：仙女座》之后，粉丝们很希望尽快知道该系列今后的走向。不过据知情人士透露，至少目前来看BioWare没有制作续作的打算。据与该公司关系密切的四位消息灵通人士透露，BioWare已经在暂停质量效应系列，并将负责开发仙女座的BioWare蒙特利尔分公司改为一家支持性的工作室。

　　当然，这也并非以后再也见不到质量效应新作，毕竟BioWare不太可能彻底抛弃这个品牌。不过，从消息来看，BioWare似乎想要整个系列“冷静”一段时间。

　　上个月，一些BioWare蒙特利尔工作室的员工被转移到同样位于蒙特利尔的EA Motive，帮助开发全新的《星球大战前线2》。此外，BioWare蒙特利尔工作室的这些工作人员也将帮助支持BioWare的其他游戏，和全新的开发代号为Dylan的新IP。BioWare蒙特利尔还将继续为《质量效应：仙女座》提供多人补丁和支持。

　　无独有偶，EA官方也发表公告证实了BioWare员工调往EA Motive。



Sources: BioWare Montreal Scaled Down, Mass Effect Put On Ice For Now

In the wake of BioWare’s polarizing Mass Effect: Andromeda, fans have wondered where the lauded sci-fi series will go next. The answer, according to people familiar with the studio, is nowhere—at least for the time being. BioWare has put Mass Effect on hiatus and turned Andromeda’s developer, BioWare Montreal, into a support studio, according to four sources close to the company.

That doesn’t mean there will never be another Mass Effect game, of course. It’s unlikely that BioWare will kill the popular sci-fi franchise. But BioWare is letting Mass Effect sit for a while rather than putting staff on Andromeda’s follow-up right away, those sources said.

Last month, a number of BioWare Montreal employees were transferred to the studio EA Motive, also based in Montreal, to work on Star Wars Battlefront II. Those remaining at BioWare Montreal will help support BioWare’s other games including the new intellectual property, code-named Dylan, which we expect the company to announce at E3. BioWare Montreal will also continue to patch and support Andromeda’s multiplayer.

BioWare’s main studio in Edmonton is heading up Dylan, while BioWare’s other studio, in Austin, is also helping out with that game.

When reached for comment, publisher Electronic Arts sent over the following statement, attributed to BioWare Montreal studio director Yanick Roy:

"Our teams at BioWare and across EA put in tremendous effort bringing Mass Effect Andromeda to players around the world. Even as BioWare continues to focus on the Mass Effect Andromeda community and live service, we are constantly looking at how we’re prepared for the next experiences we will create.

The teams in EA Worldwide Studios are packed with talent, and more than ever, we are driving collaboration between studios on key projects.

With our BioWare and Motive teams sharing studio space in Montreal, we have BioWare team members joining Motive projects that are underway. We’re also ramping up teams on other BioWare projects in development.

There will be much more to come from BioWare in the years ahead."

Mass Effect: Andromeda - Update from the Studio

Since the release of Mass Effect: Andromeda, we’ve worked hard to address feedback from our community. From improving animations to expanding customization options, we looked to respond to your concerns, and build on what you loved.

With each patch, you let us know we were heading in the right direction, and we're grateful to everyone who joined us on this journey. We're proud of what we created, and we hope you enjoyed it as well.

Early in development, we decided to focus Mass Effect: Andromeda’s story on the Pathfinder, the exploration of the Andromeda galaxy, and the conflict with the Archon. The game was designed to further expand on the Pathfinder’s journey through this new galaxy with story-based APEX multiplayer missions and we will continue to tell stories in the Andromeda Galaxy through our upcoming comics and novels, including the fate of the quarian ark.

Our last update, 1.10, was the final update for Mass Effect: Andromeda. There are no planned future patches for single-player or in-game story content.

In the coming weeks, our multiplayer team will provide details of their ongoing support and upcoming content, including new multiplayer missions, character kits, and what’s in store for N7 Day.

We appreciate all the millions of people who came with us to the Andromeda galaxy. We hope to see you again in the Mass Effect universe.
