Jade Raymond kennen we als een dame van Ubisoft dit betrokken was bij veel projecten. Haar meest recente toevoegingen deed ze aan Splinter Cell: Blacklist, Assassin's Creed: Unity, Far Cry 4 en het geannuleerde Rainbow Six: Patriots, maar we leren nu dat ze een nieuwe stap in haar carrière zal nemen.
Wees niet getreurd, Raymond blijft werkzaam in de game-industrie, ze maakt namelijk de overstap van Ubisoft naar Electronic Arts. Ze laat hierover weten:
quote:
"I love making games. I got my first job in the industry 20 years ago and am just as excited by the potential of games as I was on my very first day. There is no recipe for what a game should be and the only limit is the team's imagination. The endless possibilities, the talented people I get to work with and the passion that gamers add to make each game their own is what motivates me. Everyone in this industry has a motive, an idea they want to bring to life, a new idea they'd like to see in a game. It’s what’s so great about this industry. And it’s what I want to get back to.
I love change and challenge, and the time is right to try something entirely new. I’m happy to announce that I’m joining Electronic Arts and opening Motive, a new development studio in my home town of Montreal, Canada."
Motive zal nauw samen gaan werken met Visceral, de studio achter Dead Space, Battlefield Hardline en Star Wars en BioWare, bekend van Dragon Age en Mass Effect. De studio zal onder andere betrokken worden bij de totstandkoming van Amy Hennig's Star Wars en bij de Frostbite engine voor games als Mass Effect: Andromeda.
quote:
"I've also known Amy for years and have admired her work on the Uncharted games! I’m thrilled that the first big project that we will work on in Montreal will have Amy as Creative Director. An opportunity to work with her and the Visceral team, and to play in the Star Wars universe, is once-in-a-lifetime stuff."
