UK-based Criterion Games (Burnout Paradise, NFS: Hot Pursuit) is getting its hands on the Need for Speed franchise, again. Meanwhile, Ghost Games, the studio behind last year?s NFS: Heat, will become an engineering support studio. This transition means Ghost Games will return to its former EA Gothenburg moniker, should EA receive approval from the Swedish Union. Unfortunately, such a shift may not bode well for all developers at Ghost Games.
While many members of Ghost Games? team will transfer to Criterion, GamesIndustry.biz reports quite a few will remain in office to serve in developmental support roles. However, upwards of 30 jobs are at risk, too. EA addressed how the studio?s talent will be spread out, telling GamesIndustry.biz, ?the engineering expertise in our Gothenburg team, some of whom are architects of the Frostbite engine, is vital to a number of our ongoing projects, and they would remain in that location.?
