Electronic Arts shuts down Mythic Entertainment studio

Electronic Arts has shut down its Mythic Entertainment game studio, which created the Warhammer Online and Dungeon Keeper mobile game and helped pioneer online games with The Dark Age of Camelot.

Kotaku, which first reported the shutdown, said that an EA representative confirmed the closure with the statement: “We are closing the EA Mythic location in Fairfax, Va., as we concentrate mobile development in our other studio locations. We are working with all impacted employees to provide assistance in finding new opportunities, either within EA or with other companies via an upcoming job fair.”
