DICE LA opened to make Star Wars games

[Plok 327]

DICE, the developers of Battlefield, and EA, who now own the rights to make Star Wars games, have bowed to the inevitable. According to a report in Gamasutra: Electronic Arts has opened a new DICE studio in Los Angeles, with a key focus around creating new video games in the Star Wars franchise.

 

DICEs general manager, the awesomely named Karl-Magnus Troedsson, has said that by the end of the year the studio will be expected to have over 60 developers working on Star Wars games. If Gamasutra are correct, with the prowess of the studios Frostbite engine you expect to see some high-definition Wookiee fur, and the shiniest Stormtrooper armour ever put into a video game.

Why? LA. Talent, according to Troedsson. Who added: Its no secret that our main competitor is there.

Also, I've also seen an article in French that said that Danger Close was closed, but I can't trace it back.

EA hasn't confirmed it yet:

Danger Close hasn't been all that impressive but I don't think they were that bad.
