In the gaming world, Eiji Aonuma, producer of the Legend of Zelda series, shares insights about the upcoming Ocarina of Time remake. He notes that some younger developers on the team had never played the original game, which he believes is beneficial for creating a fresh perspective on the remake. Aonuma expresses excitement about collaborating with younger staff to envision the future of the franchise, hinting at influences from previous titles and a desire to innovate while respecting the series' legacy.

Meanwhile, Electronic Arts reportedly decided to shut down BioWare to focus on developing Star Wars Battlefront 3, prioritizing what they believe will be a more profitable venture over the studio's ongoing projects, including a new Mass Effect game. This decision has raised concerns about the future of BioWare, especially given the studio's historical significance in the gaming industry.

In other news, Capcom's Resident Evil series producer suggests that the overarching narrative of the franchise could conclude within the next decade, although this does not mean the end of new Resident Evil games. The company aims to create a more cohesive story moving forward, reflecting on the series' evolution and planning for future installments.
