Electronic Arts CFO Blake Jorgensen says EA is interested in creating open-world action games like Assassin’s Creed or Grand Theft Auto, reports GameRant<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Speaking at a USB conference, Jorgensen shared some details on what type of games the company is hoping to create.<\/p>\n

“The largest genre in gaming is the action genre; that would be an Assassin\u2019s Creed-style game; Grand Theft Auto,” said Jorgensen.<\/p>\n

“They are more open world, they are more exploratory. They\u2019re big experiences.”<\/p>\n

The EA CFO also mentioned that the company has done well in its traditional genres, but there is no reason it can’t expand to the open-world action genre.<\/p>\n

“We have rarely played in that genre because we\u2019ve been so deep in sports, where we are dominant and first-person shooters, as well as in simulation games like The Sims,” said Jorgensen.<\/p>\n

“But there\u2019s no reason we can\u2019t do well in [the action genre], we just haven\u2019t paid attention to it.”<\/p>\n

We won’t see an open-world action game from EA for a few years at least, but the company’s new Motive Studio in Montreal\u00a0is already working on the title.<\/p>\n
