Op de EA Campus in San Francisco (Amerika) heeft het Sims Team een eigen gebouw staan: de Redwood Shores Studio’s. Een deel van het team dat in The Sims Studio in Redwood Shores werkt zal verhuizen naar Salt Lake City (Utah) om er te gaan werken aan een nieuw project. Details over dit nieuwe project worden niet gegeven maar hopelijk horen we er snel meer over.
Wel heeft Ben Bell, Executive Producer, wat vragen beantwoord op Industrie Gamers over deze verhuizing, deze kun je in zijn geheel in de ‘meer lezen …’ vinden.
A small team of experienced developers from The Sims Studio in Redwood Shores are moving to Salt Lake City to kick off a new project. As I mentioned, EA’s Play Label has an established office in Salt Lake City. Developers from EA Salt Lake will join the production and we’ll hire for key positions as the project grows.

Electronic Arts recently revealed to IndustryGamers that it’s expanding its Salt Lake City studio and moving it into a larger office in downtown Salt Lake City. The team behind The Sims will now start development on a “groundbreaking” new project. The company is actively hiring now and looking to fill key leadership positions.
We spoke about the decision to expand in Salt Lake with Executive Producer Ben Bell. Our Q&A is below.
IG: You mention a “groundbreaking” new project. We know you’re not ready to get into specifics, but can you give us any hints? Is it Sims related or is it entirely new?
BB: Not yet, but we look forward to sharing more information in the future.
IG: Can you please clarify what you mean by this new project being from the Studio behind Sims? Isn’t Sims studio Maxis?
BB: The Sims Studio, a part of EA’s Play Label, is made up of developers that worked on SimCity, The Sims, The Sims 2, MySims and now The Sims 3, as well as talented developers from other parts of the industry. Many of those developers worked for Maxis years ago but as the scope of Maxis expanded to include Spore, EA decided to establish that project in a separate location out of Emeryville, CA. For the past five years, The Sims Studio has been working in Redwood Shores with a sharp focus on The Sims and MySims franchises and the Maxis studio focuses on the Spore franchise.
