EA has combined the operations of BioWare and Mythic to form a new RPG/MMO studio group.
“This newly formed team will be led by Ray Muzyka, co-founder and general manager of BioWare,” the company said in a statement. “With this change, Ray becomes group general manager of the new RPG/MMO studio group. BioWare’s other co-founder, Greg Zeschuk will become group creative officer. BioWare’s studios remain unchanged and continue to report to Ray.”
The company also confirmed that Mythic co-founder and general manager Mark Jacobs left EA yesterday. Rob Denton will assume the GM role at Mythic and report to Ray Muzyka.
Here's hoping that they make more RPGs, fewer MMOs.
