EA is trying its hand at an Assassin’s Creed-style open world game

EA is looking to create an Assassin’s Creed-style, open world franchise.

“We’ve never really operated in the largest genre of gaming, and that’s the action genre,” EA Studios CFO Blake Jorgensen said at the UBS Global Technology Conference in San Francisco, via Gamespot.

“That’s the Assassin’s Creed-style games; more open world, more single-play versus multiplayer. It’s not been an area that we’ve operated in. We recently hired Jade Raymond, who was behind the Assassin’s Creed franchise for Ubisoft and she will be building an action genre [game] for us through a studio we’re building out in Montreal right now. So a lot of excitement around the action genre.”

About the author

Steve Wright

Steve's the owner and Editor-in-Chief of Stevivor.com, the country’s leading independent video games outlet. Steve arrived in Australia back in 2001 on what was meant to be a three-month working holiday before deciding to emigrate and, eventually, becoming a citizen.

Stevivor is a combination of ‘Steve’ and ‘Survivor’, which made more sense back in 2001 when Jeff Probst was up in Queensland. The site started as Steve’s travel blog before transitioning over into video games.

Aside from video games, Steve has interests in hockey and Star Trek, playing the former and helping to cover video games about the latter on TrekMovie.com. By day, Steve works as the communications manager of the peak body representing Victorians as they age.
