Bioware cancels Shadow Realms

“Today I’m sharing some important news about Shadow Realms and our BioWare Austin studio.

We’ve made the decision to not move forward with development of Shadow Realms. We fully recognize that this news is disappointing to some of our fans, so I want to explain more behind this decision.

While the team did amazing work on the game concept and we got lots of great feedback from our fans at events and through other game testing, right now there are other projects for the team to work on within the BioWare studios for the coming year and beyond. We’ve got an incredibly talented team here at the Austin studio, and they are excited and already deep on new projects within the BioWare family, ones that will make some great BioWare games even better.

These include additional ongoing enhancements to the award-winning Dragon Age: Inquisition, as well as the next game in the Mass Effect series and other new IP.

But the biggest focus for our team in BioWare Austin will be on Star Wars™: The Old Republic™. As every Star Wars™ fan knows, this is a massive year in the Star Wars universe. We have some great plans for expanding this epic game this year, and look forward to sharing the news about those plans with our players in the coming weeks.

For all the people that registered for the Shadow Realms Closed Alpha, we’re working on a way to say thank-you for signing up. To all those players that gave us feedback at Gamescom and PAX, and those that shared their thoughts and impressions in the past months, we thank you for being part of the conversation.”

It happens. We do no they spread the name Bioware around.

ME3 end made me care less about Bioware and Dragon Age: Inquisition (worse game of the year) made me care even less. At this point they need to do some thing grand to make me care more about them than Square-Enix.

Well that's unfortunate as it would have been cool to have seen how that game would have turned out. I am very much looking forward to any and all dlc for Dragon Age: Inquisition as that was an awesome game. Also I'm very excited for the next Mass Effect game.

Mass effect 2 was the last thing i enjoyed from bioware, since then the games seem lower qaulity and rushed.

must admit shadow realms looked intetesting enough.

I like Dragon Age tbh

Me too

I just think its in the same league as Mass Effect, maybe I like Mass Effect, especially Mass Effect 2 too much

Then why did you say that their quality has dropped?

because its not as good as Mass Effect

Because that's their main franchise

Bioware don't specifically mention what their main franchise is

The game didn't look that great but who knows what it might've become. This is probably for the best. Four games for a single company, even as big as Bioware, is enough.

it's hard to tell since it was a closed Alpha, no one really saw it
