In an interview with GameDaily EA Vice President of Communications Jeff Brown and Bioware CEO Ray Muzyka shared some interesting news. EA has given over control of their Montreal studio to Bioware to create Bioware Montreal. The goal is to have around 30 people at Bioware Montreal and about 15 of those from Bioware’s Edmonton studio that worked on the original Mass Effect. The primary focus of the new Montreal studio will be to work on Mass Effect 2.

“”We’re really excited about it, and we think it’s going to be a huge opportunity to tap into the talent base in Montreal while supplementing our existing teams in Edmonton and Austin, which are doing some great stuff on all the other projects BioWare’s working on,” Muzyka said.”

Muzyka also mentioned that Bioware is continuing to work on Dragon Age: Origins, Star Wars: The Old Republic, Mass Effect 2, and some “super secret projects.” Stay tuned for more on GPU!
