November 26, 2024, 10:56 AM
In 2021, Casey Hudson, the game director behind the original Mass Effect trilogy, founded Humanoid Studios. The team had been working on a new sci-fi game, but in November 2024, the studio faced an «unexpected funding shortfall.»
The announcement of the studio's closure was made via its LinkedIn profile. Leadership is now focused on assisting employees in finding new opportunities.
We're heartbroken that we will not be able to bring our new science-fiction universe to completion. Our main concern at this time however is for our team, and we are committed to supporting them in their transition to new employment.
In our time together, the team achieved incredible progress, and demonstrated that it's possible to do amazing work while fostering a culture of fun and creativity. We thank them for their talent, courage, and friendship.
Meanwhile, other BioWare veterans, including Drew Karpyshyn, the writer of the first two Mass Effect games, are working on a role-playing game called Exodus. You can watch new trailer here.
