EA is restructuring as it shifts focus to building out the Battlefield franchise. Following a troubled launch for Battlefield 2042. DICE general manager Oskar Gabrielson is leaving the company at the end of the year to pursue another role outside of EA. In response, Zampella will be adding DICE to his portfolio of EA studios as Group GM, which already includes Ripple and Respawn, GameSpot reports.
Rebecka Coutaz, former managing director of Ubisoft Annecy (developers of STEEP and support for Assassin's Creed and Ghost Recon), will take over as GM of DICE. Battlefield GM Byron Beede will continue to report to Zampella.
Zampella said that EA plans for the number of employees working on the Battlefield franchise to "grow significantly." Meanwhile, Halo designer Marcus Lehto (who joined EA as a game director in October 2021) is working on building a new Seattle-based studio focused on story content for the Battlefield franchise.
Ripple Effect, the studio behind Battlefield 2042's Portal mode, is also developing a new "Battlefield experience" set in the 2042 universe.
