Jade Raymond, the founder of Motive Studios, is leaving EA. Senior Vice President of mobile, Maxis, and Bio Samantha Ryan will take over and oversee Motive Studios.
I'm not sure what Motive is even up to these days.
After BFII, and their SW project moving to Vancouver, are there other SW project(s) in the works? Are they still working on their new IP? I think so, but we haven't heard much from them.
Ian is there I think, he said they're working on "some pretty exciting secret stuff" if I recall.

A bit over 3 years, but she never worked super long anywhere (She's been in the gaming industry for 20 years). Her longest stay was at Ubisoft, where she did ~6 years in Montréal and then spent ~4 years creating the Ubisoft Toronto studio. Motive was her second time at EA too. Motive has mostly been a support studio since its creation, it's only last year that they started work on their own thing.
Reading EA's comment on the departure, I suspect it is more that she left over a re-organisation: "[Chief Studios Officer] Laura Miele and her team have taken several steps internally to better support our game makers in this pursuit, such as expanding Samantha Ryan’s portfolio to lead additional studios, including Motive," EA said. "Samantha is known for driving creative design and supporting game teams so they can bring their visions to life. She is a deeply experienced game-maker with a gameography that spans from The Sims to Batman: Arkham City to No One Lives Forever to the highly-anticipated Anthem."
"With this change, Jade Raymond has decided to leave Electronic Arts."
Michael Gamble @gamblemike So I think @benirvo and I are going to livestream some Anthem on Halloween. We’re going to just grab a random build and hopefully not crash. Hijinks and hilarity will ensue...we think.

Ah, found the link link They are working on Star Wars and Plants vs Zombies
Emily (aka Domino) pentapod Not sure why this li'l fella is looking kinda nervous this week... but so long as my Colossus suit stays between my skin and those fangs, that's all I care about! ☺️ #AnthemGame
Allan Schumacher allanschumacher It is possible that they have heard of my presence 👀
Emily (aka Domino)pentapod ...and heard you took all the Aero chocolate bars after today's meeting!! They may be checking your pockets ... watch out for ambushes and avoid dark alleys ... 😄
Allan Schumacher allanschumacher They are so delicious and I am weak! (I'm not a huge sweets person, but milk chocolate is totally my jam!)
Emily (aka Domino) pentapod Was worried for a moment - thought you were talking about the grabbits, not the chocolate! 😄 Disclaimer: cannot confirm or deny if grabbits are delicious, but pretty certain they are not milk chocolate anyway. #AnthemGame
