"We've never really operated in the largest genre of gaming, and that's the action genre," said EA financial boss Blake Jorgensen. "That's the Assassin's Creed-style games; more open-world, more single-play versus multiplayer. It's not been an area that we've operated in."
Jorgensen said the Raymond joined EA to help the company move into the action genre, according to Gamespot.
"We recently hired Jade Raymond, who was behind the Assassin's Creed franchise for Ubisoft and she will be building an action genre for us through a studio we're building out in Montreal right now," continued Jorgensen. "So a lot of excitement around the action genre."
The new Montreal studio that Raymond will be heading is called Motive Studios, according to PlayStationLifeStyle.net. The studio was announced last July.
The studio is also working with Visceral Games with a new "Star Wars" game and another new game, according to sources. On the Motive Studios website, it stated that Raymond excited to bring new ideas to life with her new role as the leader of the new studio.
