Anyone looking for another edition of Dark Age of Camelot or Warhammer Online will be surely disappointed, as EA has just announced the closure of Mythic Entertainment. Mythic is most recently responsible for the remake of classic strategy game Dungeon Keeper, which was received poorly by many gamers due to its emphasis on microtransactions.
As a result, EA has put the brunt of the blame on Mythic, and have forced the developer to close its doors.
When reached by Kotaku for comment, EA sent over the following statement:
We are closing the EA Mythic location in Fairfax, Virginia, 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.
Mythic Entertainment was founded in 1995, and many of its staff have been there since that time, so it’s always sad to see talented game developers, programmers, marketers and otherwise to have to take their talents elsewhere in the New Economy.
