Today Electronic Arts announced that Dead Space series developer Visceral Games “will be ramping down and closing” following a fundamental change in the development of the Star Wars game directed by Uncharted veteran Amy Hennig.
Central elements will be reimagined “to give players a Star Wars adventure of greater depth and breadth to explore.”
The publisher is also working on moving as many Visceral developers as possible to other studios and projects.
Development will be taken over by another (not yet named) Electronic Arts studio, under the leadership of EA Vancouver, that has already been working on the project.
