EA Partners is ‘Open for Business’ Executive Insists

June 10, 2013 by Stephen Daly

Frank Gibeau denies closure of EA Partners.

EA Partners, the branch of the company which specialises in publishing non-EA developed games, has not closed despite reports in April that the program was being shut down.

Speaking to Polygon, EA Labels President Frank Gibeau commented on a raft of redundancies earlier this year which sparked the rumours of Partners' closure. 

"We had, frankly, too much capacity inside of our EA Partners team to handle more projects than we were in a position to want to have right now. That was what the scaling back of it was. But Partners is open for business," Gibeau said. 

The executive recognised that there was a problem in relating exactly what happened to the media adding "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. 

"On the console front, honestly, when you're in a transition, you tend to focus in on your internal titles and most of your capital there to make sure you get your studios positioned and configured for that."

Insomniac's Fuse was the last game to be published under the EA Partners' label. TitanFall, another Partners' title, is set to be unveiled by Respawn Entertainment at E3 this week. 

Internally, EA has a number of projects which they'll be demonstrating at their pre-E3 media briefing including Dragon Age 3: Inquisition, FIFA 14 and Battlefield 4. Mirror's Edge 2 is also likely to make an appearance.
