Electronic Arts is exploring the possibility of closing their U.K. studio in Guildford. Known as Bright Light, the developer made many of the recent Harry Potter games.
"After a review of all current and future projects, Electronic Arts has started a formal consultation process with its Bright Light employees over the proposed closure of the studio," said EA's Tiffany Steckler to GI.biz. "The proposed changes will help centralize development on future projects, reduce development costs and will allow for better knowledge and talent sharing within the organization."
"Employees that are impacted will be considered for positions at other EA Studios including those in the U.K.," Steckler continued. "The U.K. is a vital center of game development for EA and we intend to maintain a strong presence here."
