The team behind theMedal of Honorseries reboot and itsill-fated sequelhas been scattered to the wind, EA Labels executive vice president Patrick Söderlund toldEurogamer. “Danger Close as it was doesn’t exist any more,” Söderlund said. “There are people who left LA, people who work with DICE LA, and there are some who work in other parts of EA, as always when something gets dismantled.”
In the wake ofMedal of Honorbeing taken “out of the rotation,” EA indicated the company would focus on its other shooter offerings. Then, the publisher announcedBattlefielddeveloper DICE would beexpanding its operationswith a new Los Angeles-based satellite studio tasked with working on “unannounced projects, all built on the Frostbite 3 engine.”
