EA Motive Studios have confirmed that Jade Raymond is leaving EA for good. Jade established this very same studio three years ago and she was heavily involved in the development of Star Wars Battlefront II as well as an unnamed Star Wars game that was being produced by Visceral Games.
This is what EA had to say on this matter: "With this change, Jade Raymond has decided to leave Electronic Arts. In her time with us, Jade helped to build great teams, and our projects underway at Motive and other studios continue unchanged. We're appreciative of all of her efforts, and we wish Jade all the best as she moves on to her next adventure. We are driving greater creativity into everything we do across EA Studios, and we'll look forward to sharing more in the months to come".
Samantha Ryan, who is also the head of EA's mobile department is going to take over her role at Motive Studios going forward.
We wish Jade Raymond all the best in her future career. Her work on Assassin's Creed and Watch Dogs Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell: Blacklist will not be forgotten that easily.
