EA reportedly laid off ‘a few dozen’ Bioware devs in restructuring with further layoffs possible

Though it only confirmed that Bioware was undergoing a “restructuring,” with many developers moved to other teams and ventures, EA has reportedly laid off a sizeable part of the studio. New reports and developer posts indicate that “at least a few dozen” staff were cut from Bioware.

According to a Jan. 30 report from Insider Gaming, sources from Bioware said that dozens have lost their jobs at the studio, and that fears are growing that more layoffs are to come in the following weeks and months. “One current employee said they ‘expect it to happen,’” the report reads, while others allegedly spoke of an incoming “wave” of layoffs. This comes after EA announced it would be restructuring and downsizing Bioware to a level appropriate for developing Mass Effect 5 in its current stage. The company never confirmed that layoffs were part of that procedure, and it is unclear why it would leave that part out.
