It was about deeply emotionally engaging stories and characters, brought to life by the amazingly talented people on our dev teams, and our excellent production and distribution partners who helped us bring those stories successfully to all corners of the planet, and our passionate fans who defended those worlds, championed them and carried them forward. We&#8217;re proud this film honors those who made it all possible. The best stories never really end. They live on in our memories and wait for someone to pick them up again.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Massive Effect: The BioWare Story is scheduled for release next year.
