BioWare Co-Founder Trent Oster Runs Financial Models to Revive Mass Effect, Recruits James Ohlen
Trent Oster, BioWare co-founder and Beamdog CEO, is actively modeling the financials to acquire or license the Mass Effect IP. He has recruited veteran designer James Ohlen and estimates a new game would cost over $200 million, though he believes a disciplined approach could lower costs. This effort follows EA's closure of BioWare and the cancellation of Mass Effect 5.
