Electronic Arts‘ Battlefield series announced that it is bringing on a new studio for the franchise. Founded late last year and headed by Marcus Lehto, the co-creator of Halo, the new studio Ridgeline Games officially joins the Battlefield team.
“20 years ago on September 10th 2002 DICE and EA released Battlefield™ 1942 – bringing a new kind of first-person shooter to the web2 gaming space. One that allowed players to partake in massive battles set in a WW2-themed sandbox. Since then, they have explored many eras and theaters of war, from the trenches of the First World War to the jungles of Vietnam, the tactical warfare of modern combat, and even glimpses of the world of tomorrow.”
Ridgeline will now focus on creating a narrative campaign for the Battlefield universe.
