“The Vancouver studio is working on something pretty different,” she informed the website. “Once you go more open world it’s such a different game to the one we were making. Everybody loved what we were doing and I’d love to see us resurrect that somehow, but it’s complicated.”
Last October, the action-adventure video game endured EA’s choice to shutter its preliminary studio, Visceral Games, when advancement relocated to its Vancouver branch. The business stated it was “shifting the game to be a broader experience” from a direct method.
EA didn’t instantly react to an ask for remark.
