I et interview med Patrick Söderlund, Executive Vice President hos EA Studios, er det kommet frem at EA gerne vil lave sine egne open world actionspil som Assassin's Creed, Batman og GTA for at kunne udvide deres portfolio:
"If you look at the biggest segment in our industry, which is action, we don't have a lot. EA is not known to make gigantic action games like Assassin's Creed or Batman or GTA or those types of games that are really big. The strategic direction that we put in motion is to expand our portfolio more into that segment, to see what can we bring to gamers that maybe hasn't been done before."
Söderlund fortsætter og forklarer:
"I'm not suggesting we're going to go after GTA and sell 50 million units. We would love to! But what I'm saying is those types of absolutely AAA, big productions is what we want to do."
Hvornår og hvis vi ser resultater bliver spændende. Men store open world titler er naturligvis noget man kun kan se frem til.
Tak til Neogaf.
