## Key points

- Petition passes 214,000 signatures.
- Shepard actors support the campaign.
- Fans seek a future for the series.

## Summary

The #SaveMassEffect petition has passed 214,000 signatures, with Commander Shepard voice actors Jennifer Hale and Mark Meer backing the campaign. Fans have also paid for a Times Square billboard, while developers of The Expanse: Osiris Reborn have voiced support, adding to pressure for the series to continue.

The campaign follows the cancellation of an upcoming Mass Effect game and EA’s closure of BioWare last week, with layoffs affecting the remaining staff. Leaked footage and details shared by a YouTuber who advised on the project helped galvanise fans, but it is unclear whether EA will respond or the franchise will find a future under another owner.
