EA has announced a major internal shakeup that’ll see it split into two separate organisations: EA Sports and EA Games, the latter now renamed EA Entertainment.
Writing on EA’s website, CEO Andrew Wilson said the restructuring would “empower our studio leaders with more creative ownership and financial accountability to make faster and more insightful decisions around development and go to market strategies”.
“These steps will accelerate our business, drive growth, and deliver long-term value for our people, our players and our communities,” Wilson added.
Laura Miele has been appointed president of EA Entertainment, Technology & Central Development, and its games leadership team will be structured much as before. Vince Zampella will continue to oversee Apex Legends, Star Wars games, and the Battlefield franchise, while Samantha Ryan remains responsible for “lifestyle franchises and blockbuster single-player experiences”. Jeff Karp continues to lead EA Entertainment’s mobile teams.
