Bioware’s PC 4V1 multiplayer game Shadow Realms has been cancelled as reported by the team at Bioware Austin. BioWare Austin general manager Jeff Hickman explain on the Bioware website that they were not going to continue development on the title due to current workload for the team.
“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,” Hickman wrote. “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.”
Projects mentioned included enhancements to the award-winning Dragon Age Inquisition, the upcoming Mass Effect sequel, another new IP and of course, 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.”
It is sad that the game isn’t being made since it did have some potential to be an interesting multiplayer experience, hopefully we’ll see the title pop up again somewhere down the line.
