Video game publisher Electronic Arts Inc has cancelled a game that was in development at its Montreal office for nearly six years, according to people familiar with the matter. The game, codenamed Gaia, was first hinted at in 2015, but was never officially announced or given a title. Earlier this month, the publisher reviewed in-progress games including Gaia and a new iteration of the poorly received online game Anthem, which was also cancelled. A team at Motive was also assigned to work on the action game Star Wars Battlefront II, which also came out in 2017. By the beginning of 2018, the Gaia team had absorbed the creative leads from Star Wars Battlefront II and faced cultural clashes as a result.
