Overview
- Super Channel commissioned Massive Effect: The BioWare Story, a feature documentary written and directed by Akash Sherman and produced by Shane Fennessey and Adam Scorgie.
- Filming began roughly two years ago and continued through Electronic Arts’ closure of BioWare on October 21, 2026, giving the crew contemporaneous footage of the studio’s shutdown.
- The film features on‑camera contributions from co‑founders Ray Muzyka, Greg Zeschuk and Augustine Yip along with many former BioWare developers, voice talent and industry figures.
- Production is supported by the Canada Media Fund, will be handled for worldwide sales by Upstream Flix, and includes a fan submission site for photos, videos and memories to appear in the film.
- The documentary records the human impact of BioWare’s closure — about 400 job cuts and the cancellation of the next Mass Effect — and could shape public understanding and debate about the studio’s legacy and future of its franchises.
