Huge changes are afoot for mega-publisher Electronic Arts, which announced this week that it is bringing several studios under one roof “to strengthen [its]Â studios and technology platform.”
EA Worldwide Studios is roping together Maxis and EA Mobile, among other subsidiaries, and placing them under the management of Patrick Söderlund. BioWare will now be led by Vice President Samantha Ryan, and the Frostbite Engine team is being brought into EA’s technology organization.
“Our ability to blend our strengths to deliver amazing games across genres, geographies and platforms, in a networked environment, is central to our future success,” EA said. “EA Worldwide Studios will bring together our top creative talent in all of our great studios to work on EA’s powerful brand portfolio and new IP.”
