Former Mass Effect/BioWare Exec Casey Hudson's New Development Studio Is Shutting Down

Humanoid Origin, founded by Mass Effect/BioWare exec Casey Hudson in 2022, announced it is shutting down even before its first title was finished, due to an unexpected shortfall of funding.

Humanoid Studios was working on a multi platform AAA game, focusing on character-driven narrative in an all-new science-fiction universe.

Earlier today, we informed our staff that Humanoid Origin will be shutting down. Despite efforts to shield the studio from broader challenges in the industry, an unexpected shortfall of funding left us unable to sustain operations.

We’re heartbroken that we will not be able to bring our new science-fiction universe to completion. Our main concern at this time however is for our team, and we are committed to supporting them in their transition to new employment.

In our time together, the team achieved incredible progress, and demonstrated that it's possible to do amazing work while fostering a culture of fun and creativity. We thank them for their talent, courage, and friendship.

Thank you to everyone who supported us throughout our journey.
