Mass Effect director Casey Hudson's "AAA" sci-fi game cancelled, studio closing

Humanoid Origin, the studio founded by former Mass Effect director Casey Hudson in 2021, is ending development of its untitled sci-fi game and shutting its doors, after an “an unexpected shortfall of funding left [it] unable to sustain operations.”

“Despite efforts to shield the studio from broader challenges in the industry, an unexpected shortfall of funding left us unable to sustain operations.”

Today, however, Hudson released a statement announcing the project’s termination and the closure of the studio.
