#SaveMassEffect - A Message from the founder.
First, I want to say thank you.
When I started this petition and created #SaveMassEffect, I had no idea how quickly the community would come together. What began as one fan refusing to quietly accept the loss of something that meant so much to so many has grown into a movement supported by tens of thousands of people around the world.
And we’re only getting started.
Mass Effect has never been just another video game franchise. For many of us, it represents years of unforgettable stories, characters, friendships, and choices. It’s a universe that inspired us, brought us together, and reminded us that even against impossible odds, our actions matter.
That’s why this campaign exists.
Our goal is simple: Give Mass Effect a future.
We’re asking Electronic Arts to seriously consider two paths forward:
1. Commit to continuing Mass Effect’s development, with the resources, talent, and time necessary to deliver the experience this franchise deserves.
2. Explore licensing Mass Effect to a qualified development studio capable of carrying the franchise forward if EA no longer intends to develop it.
We’re not demanding rushed development, unrealistic promises, or an immediate announcement of a new game. We’re asking EA to recognize that this franchise still matters and that its community deserves to be heard.
I also want to make something very clear: This campaign is not against the developers, artists, writers, or employees of EA and BioWare. These are the people who helped create the universe we love. They deserve our respect and support.
Our campaign will remain respectful, organized, and focused on constructive solutions.
Where We Go From Here
As the founder of #SaveMassEffect, I’m working to turn the incredible support we’ve received into an organized effort.
Over the coming days, I’ll be focusing on expanding our outreach, connecting with gaming journalists and community creators, bringing volunteers into the campaign, and establishing a professional line of communication with EA.
With N7 Day approaching on November 7, we have an opportunity to show just how much this universe still means to people around the world.
Our next milestone is 100,000 signatures. But signatures alone aren’t the ultimate goal. Our goal is meaningful dialogue and a genuine opportunity to secure Mass Effect’s future.
How You Can Help
- Keep sharing the petition and using #SaveMassEffect.
- Encourage fellow fans to participate respectfully.
- Share what Mass Effect means to you and why you want to see its story continue.
- Help spread the campaign beyond our existing communities.
I’m currently organizing this effort independently, and I know I can’t do everything alone. As we grow, I’ll be looking for dedicated community members who want to help build something lasting.
Finally, I want everyone supporting this campaign to remember something:
We cannot guarantee that EA will change its plans. But we can make sure the community’s voice is impossible to overlook.
Every signature represents someone who believes this universe is worth preserving.
You have already shown me that I am far from alone in that belief.
Thank you for standing with me. Thank you for standing with the developers who gave us this incredible universe. And thank you for refusing to let Mass Effect’s future go unquestioned.
Our choices matter. Our voices matter.

Dear @XBOX, @asha_shar
Please buy the Mass Effect IP from EA. Reboot it, remake the original trilogy, carry on with the 5th game that was in development, I don’t care just please save Mass Effect. It would be a great IP to add to Xbox’s portfolio.
How the fuck do you get this far along the development pipeline just for some needledick executive to come along and say yeah "actually I want 3 billion dollars not just 2.14 billion dollars so we're firing everybody" ? We have to get serious about private equity man.
Mass Effect 5 developer stated that BioWare saw what Larian and CD Projekt RED did with their RPGs, and were inspired to take Mass Effect to the next level, before EA shut them down🚀
✅EA canceled Mass Effect 5 and shut down BioWare, ending development for a team of around 50 people.
✅Author Catherynne M. Valente responded to a fan stating, “A game industry that cannot figure out how to make a sequel to the literal best game of all time is a game industry that is fundamentally broken,” with: “We did figure it out. We were working on a great game. Just saying.”
✅Amazon Prime Video is developing a Mass Effect TV adaptation expected to cover iconic original trilogy storylines like Wrex on Virmire, Saren's defeat, and character arcs for Garrus, Thane, and Tali.
✅Former cinematic supervisor Tony de Waal stated the canceled game would have offered “a level of autonomy and choice that no other game has been able to match.”
✅De Waal noted their RPG ambitions: “We saw what Larian and CD Projekt were bringing to the table with their latest offerings, and started down a path to bring Mass Effect to the next level while remaining true to the Trilogy,”
✅De Waal praised his laid-off team: “I'm sad you won't ever get to see what we were cooking, and sad for the small, talented group of devs who were all punching above their weight to make something special.
✅Please consider those who stayed with BioWare until the very end. They are truly some of the most talented people I've had the pleasure of working with throughout my career.”

In other reports, claims of BioWare wanting to buy themselves out along with Mass Effect and EA showing interest, and now Canadian political Avi Lewis wants the Canadian government to save BioWare.
It would be amazing if either entities or maybe Microsoft can save the studio and the Mass Effect IP, because what we saw in that internal trailer was truly promising😭
BREAKING: Electronic Arts is cutting 400 jobs and shutting down BioWare, the legendary development studio behind Dragon Age and Mass Effect. https://t.co/suZD0eRvG1

@TeamYouTube Help! My work's youtube account was terminated due to copyright claims but I worked with the owners and they have removed our claims but our account hasn't been restored. Please advise! I can't figure out how to get help
The Jacksonville #Jaguars deserve better from NFL officiating. For the last three games, phantom calls have not only stunned fans, but the commentators as well. These wreckless calls have cost us multiple scores, and ultimately the game on Sunday. @NFL Do better! #DUUUVAL
