EA recently held an internal review to decide which of their current projects would continue in development. According to Bloomberg, one of those that didn?t make the cut was Gaia, the Assassin?s Creed-style action game in development at Motive for the last six years. Development on this game has now been cancelled.
Gaia began life back in 2015. After EA decided they wanted to expand into the action genre, Jade Raymond was brought on board to head development at the newly-created Motive studio. Here they would be working on an ?Assassin?s Creed-style? new IP that was ?more open-world, more single-play versus multiplayer?. Unfortunately, the title?s development was far from smooth. When BioWare Montreal was closed in 2017 following the poor reception of Mass Effect: Andromeda, their staff were absorbed into Motive and the studio was divided up. One team was drafted in to help with development on Star Wars Battlefront II, while the other continued to work on Gaia.
