Ripple Effect Studios is currently working with DCE to develop the upcoming video game Battlefield 2042. A new preview is also set this coming EA Play Live on July 22.
“At Ripple Effect Studios, innovation and quality are at the forefront of every project as even the smallest idea can change the world. This is the defining characteristic behind the studio’s new name,” said Christian Grass, GM of Ripple Effect Studios. “We’re so proud of our work as DICE LA and the DICE team will forever be a part of our DNA, but over the past eight years, we’ve developed our own culture and our own way of doing things. We’re excited to look towards the future, expand the team and establish our own identity.”
