| Three original videogames In a ground-breaking long term agreement, Electronic Arts Inc. (NASDAQ: ERTS) announced that Academy Award winner Steven Spielberg will be collaborating with the game makers at EA's Los Angeles studio (EALA) to create three new original franchise properties. Beginning this year, with offices located on site at EALA, Spielberg will work directly with EA's development teams to offer his signature style of storytelling to the concept, design, story and artistic visualization of the new games. EA will own the intellectual properties and the game franchises will be developed, published and distributed worldwide by EA. Financial terms of the agreement were not disclosed. The mission at EALA is to be the definitive creative destination for game makers and game development in Southern California. It is home to the award-winning Medal of HonorTM, Command & ConquerTM and The Lord of the RingsTM franchises. EALA drives innovation in technology, art and game design by employing a first-class studio of game-makers at its campus in Playa Vista, CA. The studio is also home to EA's Worldwide Music and Music Marketing group and EA Mobile. write your comments about the article :: © 2005 Game News :: home page |
