Mythic Entertainment, best known for MMOs Dark Age of Camelot and Warhammer Online, has been shut down by EA, with the publisher citing the decision to move mobile game development to other studios as the reason.

The studio’s final title was the largely panned mobile reworking of Dungeon Keeper.

“We are closing the EA Mythic location in Fairfax, Virginia, as we concentrate mobile development in our other studio locations,” reads a statement from EA given to Kotaku. “We are working with all impacted employees to provide assistance in finding new opportunities, either within EA or with other companies via an upcoming job fair.”

Mythic was formed in 1995 and was acquired by EA in 2006.

Dark Age of Camelot will remain online thanks to former Mythic staff at Broadsword Online Games.
