The EA Partners label remains open for business despite staff layoffs within the team, EA Labels president Frank Gibeau has told Polygon.
Many believed Respawn Entertainment’s Titanfall would be the last EA Partners title, but Gibeau insists cutbacks don’t mean the Partners business has shut down.
“I understand why you might believe that,” Gibeau said when asked if EAP had been shut down. “I don’t think the communication of that has been particularly well executed on our part.
“We are absolutely open for business to partner with developers out there. In fact on mobile, as an example, with our Chillingo team, we just published three games this week. On the console front, honestly, when you’re in a transition, you tend to focus in on your internal titles and put must of your attention there and most of your capital to make sure you get your studios positioned and configured for that. So we’re definitely looking to do that.”
In this time of change Gibeau says it was necessary to scale back the Partners label.
“We had, frankly, too much capacity inside of our EA Partners team to handle more projects than we were in position to want to have right now,” he said. “That was what the scaling back of it was.
“But Partners is open for business.”
