Electronic Arts has opened a new video game development studio in downtown Chicago. Located at 215 West Ohio Street, EA Chicago houses the team best known for the hit EA SPORTS Fight Night franchise. With 150 employees on staff, the studio will focus on creating next-gen titles for PlayStation 3 sand the Xbox 360, including the hip-hop lifestyle game DEF JAM: ICON and a new intellectual property in the fighting genre.
EA chose Chicago because it offers a unique cross-section of talent drawn from across the Midwest. The company has plans to bring another 100 developers into the facility by next year. “We are pushing next-generation development and technology to the limits and looking for the best talent to help us to create innovative games,” says Kudo Tsunoda, VP and general manager of EA Chicago. “We are in a great location downtown in a unique building that gives us access and visibility to the best resources and creative minds of this thriving city.”
