Mark Darrah, who worked as an Executive Producer at BioWare from 1997–2021, shared his thoughts on the studio’s recent closure by EA and what he thinks might happen to its iconic IPs. EA announced a major restructuring in a lengthy statement on October 21. Amid some exciting developments for Sims, Fight Night, and Star Wars fans came the devastating news that BioWare — the studio responsible for beloved series like Mass Effect and Dragon Age — was being shut down. “As we focus on these larger opportunities, we've had a small team at BioWare working on early-development for Mass Effect. We've made the decision not to move forward with this development, which means we’re closing the studio and our Edmonton workspace. BioWare is a legendary studio that helped define the role-playing genre, and we do not take this decision lightly,” EA’s statement said. This news hit the gaming world hard, with fans taking to social media to mourn the developer and send fired staff their well-wishes. But one burning question has risen above the sadness: What does this mean for the future of BioWare’s IPs?

The Battlestar Galactica Board Game Is Making a Surprise Comeback Next Year
When it comes to board games, a frequent “Holy Grail” game (a term used to describe a game that someone has been hunting for, usually out of print and expensive) on many lists is Fantasy Flight Games’ Battlestar Galactica: The Board Game. But it looks like the search may be coming to an end for fans, as it was announced today that Ghost Galaxy has entered into an agreement with Universal and Fantasy Flight Games to publish a brand-new edition of this coveted title, coming to crowdfunding early next year. First released back in 2008 and featuring imagery from the Sci-Fi Channel reboot, this social deduction/hidden traitor game wonderfully captured the tension from the show, where anyone could be a secret Cylon agent trying to thwart the single mission of the humans—to get home. Battlestar Galactica would go on to get three expansions, but almost a decade ago now, it all went out of print, and now prices on the secondary market for a full set (base game + expansions) could easily cost you more than a grand.
