[B]In een poging om tot nieuwe franchises te komen heeft EA niemand minder dan Steven Spielberg weten te strikken.[/B] Electronic Arts maakte vandaag bekend samen te gaan werken met Steven Spielberg om drie nieuwe franchises te ontwikkelen. Het is de bedoeling dat Spielberg samen gaat werken met het ontwikkelingsteam in Los Angeles om zijn visie te geven op het concept, verhaal en vormgeving van de nog te creëren spellen. De spellen die hieruit ontstaan zullen ontwikkeld, uitgegeven en gedistribueerd worden door EA, welke ook eigenaar zal zijn van de intellectuele eigendommen.
