Last month, EA announced that they wanted to branch out into open world games like we see from other companies as with Grand Theft Auto and Assassin’s Creed . CFO, Blake Jorgensen, has now announced that progress on this front is already underway.
In fact, Jade Raymond, producer of the Assassin’s Creed games has moved from Ubisoft to EA to help the company break into the action genre. She will be working out of a new studio EA is building out in Montreal called Motive Studios.
Raymond has already begun work in the new studio, planning and designing a new IP for EA. This should end up generating some buzz in an industry that has, lately, been relying heavily on sequels and remakes. News on the upcoming title is very scarce, so we are free to speculate. As such, what kind of action are you hoping EA announces from their new studio?
