Info is via Bloomberg, BioWare sources told Bloomberg the studio has been downsized to under 100 people.

But at least they got to keep their jobs. During the same reorganization this week, around two dozen other people at BioWare were laid off, according to the people familiar, who asked not to be identified discussing nonpublic information. Writer Trick Weekes and producer Jen Cheverie said on Bluesky that they were among the veteran workers who’d been cut.

BioWare is now down from more than 200 people two years ago to less than 100 today, according to the people familiar. A small team will remain to work on the next Mass Effect game — led by company veterans who oversaw the development on the original trilogy as well as on 2019’s Anthem — in hopes of expanding as the game gets further into production.

The company announced the reorganization on Wednesday, saying it planned to “become a more agile, focused studio,” without mentioning the job cuts and the relocation of staff permanently to other studios. A spokesperson for EA declined to comment on specific numbers.

Dragon Age: The Veilguard was undeniably divisive, but to many who worked on it, it was a miraculous accomplishment to even ship a complete game after EA forced live-service into it, then reversed course. Now, their reward for the long hours and hard work is layoffs and transfers.

I heard about Multiversus shutting down before yesterday’s rumors surfaced, I was told the game indeed caused the halt of DC collabs.

Now, Warner Bros.' new tactic is to double down on collabs with other games again, including Fortnite.

In any case, a bad day for the devs 😕

I see people are surprised at the idea of Halo and Gears coming to PS5. I reported last year that Microsoft was weighing up doing this. The new reality is that Xbox games can and will be multi-platform, and Microsoft has made that even clearer in recent weeks.

Transcript:

I can talk about Gears Collection because Gears Collection has cost me a lot to corroborate its existence but it seems that it exists and I can confirm that at the moment in which Gears Collection is announced, which I don't know when it will be but it will be announced as multiplatform day one. I repeat again. When these kinds of remasters are announced, remasters of the old Gears games are going to be able to be cross-platform play simultaneously. The only thing I haven't been able to confirm is the launch of a Switch version but it can be played cross-platform on PC, Xbox and PlayStation.

Vandal is one the larger Spanish sites for videgames on the context on who the source is.

Translated text from Spanish:

"Recent leaks have talked about Halo: The Master Chief Collection and Gears of War: U|timate Edition - or a remastered collection of the series - on PlayStation 5 and Nintendo Switch 2. According to our sources, some of the closest ones are Killer Instinct and Starfield, which has been in development for at least PS5 since its launch on Xbox Series and PC - late 2023"

"There are more games in the works including Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 or Age of Empires II: Definitive Edition , which was found testing online late last year; Tom Warren speculated about Age of Mythology: Retold and Senua's Saga: Hellblade 2 . We have information about another game that has already started its adaptation to PS5 and/or Switch 2: the new Fable from Playground Games, so it's possible that in this case the launch will be simultaneous on all platforms"

A compilation of news and rumours from Bioshock's new installment.

"Some went to other game companies; others moved to the top-secret studio next door to work on an unannounced new BioShock game."

"Design and development the game’s biome-based ecologies for open-world content."

"The Senior Voice Designer listing refers to the game as a ambitious, narratively-driven project full of character and personality" and the applicant is to help design the 'dialogue systems'."

"The applicant is responsible for: Interactive world systems and non-AI systemic ecology, Player growth systems & progression and Game balance and economy"

"The developer is also trying to make strides in terms of AI as they are creating: a meaningful AI urban crowd system and the systemic tribal ecology of a sometimes hostile AI."

"I have been told that Sony is up to their shenanigans again, and the new BioShock game is being money-headed by Sony"

“The new BioShock game takes place in the 1960s, in Antarctica, and in a city called Borealis.”

“...and the games are inter-connected, which is not a huge surprise.”

"I went to a new source that I haven't worked within a while, but this source is reliable and was able to confirm what we already know based on a leak that happened a few days ago. that the game is called BioShock Immortal."

"The image below is from an early demo build of the game featured in a 2021 showcase reel, and you can see the “Parkside” codename in it."

According to posts shared on LinkedIn and Bluesky, BioWare's restructuring has led to the termination of Dragon Age: The Veilguard's Lead Writer Trick Weekes, Lead Editor Karin West-Weekes, and Narrative Editor Ryan Cormier. Additionally, BioWare Producer Jennifer Cheverie Cott, Associate Game Producer Daniel Steed, Senior Product Manager Lina Anderson, and Senior Systems Designer Michelle Flamm were also let go, while Senior Writer Sheryl Chee, who wrote Dragon Age's Leliana, Isabela, Blackwall, and Harding, was moved to EA Motive.

Bioware and EA haven't confirmed the fact, only that the company is on a "restructuring".

Journalists say it's a smokescreen by EA to hide the lay offs.

Edit: Mike Straw from InsiderGaming reports at least a few dozen of developers were laid off

Original Title: According to AusilMV, there is a possibility that Season 5 will be the final season of MultiVersus, depending on how it performs. Claims a notable source said it’s being seen as a, “last-ditch effort.”


Even AusilMV states this is just a rumor that they cannot 1000% confirm, but given they’ve always been right on the money with MultiVersus leaks in the past, I highly doubt this doesn’t have some validity to it.

For context: folks discovered that Nintendo's Transfer User Data and Transfer Save Data are having maitence late on February 4th US time.

King on Famiboards pointed out that 3 of the last 5 Directs were either on the same day or the day after one of these happened.

These have happened without Directs previously, but since we have had rumors about a Direct in February already, I wouldn't be surprised.

Also, Nintendo's nine month earnings release would be the day of or the day before, would be a good way to keep the investors kinda happy before the Switch 2 Direct.

According to a recent video leaked on YouTube, it looks like the iconic Daikoku Parking Area has been recreated in the upcoming racing game JDM: Japanese Drift Master. For those unfamiliar, Daikoku PA isn't just any parking lot—it's legendary. Located in Yokohama, Japan, this spot has become a haven for car meetups, drawing some of the most unique and jaw-dropping cars from across the country. Source:
