Electronic Arts has announced a shake-up within the publisher, realigning its internal efforts. EA studios are being split amongst two organizations: the existing EA Sports, and EA Entertainment.

EA Entertainment will look to encompass the publisher’s owned IP, as well as licensed IP production. “We’re building the future of interactive entertainment on a foundation of legendary franchises and innovative new experiences, which represents massive opportunities for growth,” wrote EA CEO Andrew Wilson in today’s announcement.

Laura Miele has been appointed as President of EA Entertainment, Technology & Central Development, working alongside leads like Vince Zampella, Samantha Ryan, and Jeff Karp.

EA Sports, meanwhile, will still head up the company’s sport efforts. Cam Weber is President of EA Sports. Both organizational branches will report to Wilson at the top.

Via IGN, this would put Respawn, DICE, Ripple Effect, Ridgeline Games, Full Circle, Motive Studio, EA Seattle, BioWare, and the Originals label, as well as mobile projects, under Entertainment. Sports would, meanwhile, look after Sports endeavors.
