In the wake of BioWare's polarising 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 2. 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.

I dont know where to start. There was no problem with the franchise the problem was the people who are abusing it. It is sad that Bioware will kill mass effect in time, slowly. Also according to the news, some of the staff was redirected to bf2s development.
Well, i just hope they were the ones who wrote drack, otherwise say goodbye to bf2 as well.
