BioWare cancels Shadow Realms

BioWare cancels Shadow Realms

Shadow Realms, an online cooperative role-playing game from BioWare Austin is canceled. The studio says it's no longer developing the game, which was just unveiled to the public this past August.

Today I'm sharing some important news about Shadow Realms and our BioWare Austin studio. 

We've made the decision to not move forward with development of Shadow Realms. We fully recognize that this news is disappointing to some of our fans, so I want to explain more behind this decision. 

While the team did amazing work on the game concept and we got lots of great feedback from our fans at events and through other game testing, right now there are other projects for the team to work on within the BioWare studios for the coming year and beyond. We’ve got an incredibly talented team here at the Austin studio, and they are excited and already deep on new projects within the BioWare family, ones that will make some great BioWare games even better. 

These include additional ongoing enhancements to the award-winning Dragon Age: Inquisition, as well as the next game in the Mass Effect series and other new IP. 

But the biggest focus for our team in BioWare Austin will be on Star Wars: The Old Republic. As every Star Wars fan knows, this is a massive year in the Star Wars universe. We have some great plans for expanding this epic game this year, and look forward to sharing the news about those plans with our players in the coming weeks. 

For all the people that registered for the Shadow Realms Closed Alpha, we’re working on a way to say thank-you for signing up. To all those players that gave us feedback at Gamescom and PAX, and those that shared their thoughts and impressions in the past months, we thank you for being part of the conversation.

Bioware moved more developers into the SWTOR program. I'd say its a little too late to get something of quality out in time for Episode 7 release date. Bioware officialy reported yesterday (Feb 9th) that they plan on 2 big releases for SWTOR this year. 1 in the summer and 1 in the winter. 3.0 came out this past fall to great success. Bioware wants to get back to its roots and work on soloplay and story more.

With whats going on in the SW universe it was expected Bioware would shutdown another game in development to support a known money maker. Taking advantage of the hype that is Episode 7 is a smart move, but is it too late to release anything with little to no bugs in it? Only time will tell, but I'm not holding my breath.

Patches themselves were every 4 weeks, and since then there has been more time between patches, currently its 12 weeks. 3 times what was promised to the community. There have been plenty of aggravating bugs with these patches as well. The most known of which was the exploited Operation which cost some players a bann for a short period of time.

I'm a fan of SWTOR and have been a 2 account sub since beta, this news is good news for the swtor community but im not convinced it will be a huge addition to the game. feel bad a different game was canceled though but its business. dump resources into the money maker is a good idea any day of the week.
