As one of the biggest video game publishers in the business, Electronic Arts is always looking to expand and bring in new talent to provide new or existing IPs much needed direction. EA is already continuing this ethos on the studio-side as it begins setting up its newest development studio in Seattle, Washington under former Monolith Productions studio head Kevin Stephens. It is now set to continue on the talent-side as one of the original minds behind Halo is joining EA and growing its presence in Seattle.
