Fans of the SimCity series and the Studio Maxis will be disappointed: today we discovered that publisher Electronic Arts has decided to close the latter. About how many employees she had to dismiss, EA said.

 

 

This does not mean that in the future EA will never release games of the series, SimCity and The Sims is likely that their development will now instruct other studios that EA lot.

 

In a statement, EA said the following: "We bring the development of all IP Maxis in our Studio in Redwood shores, salt lake city, Helsinki and Melbourne. Studio in Emeryville closes. We will continue to support the current game and to expand the influence of franchises to new platforms".

 

Also, the publisher added: "This does not change our plans about The Sims. For The Sims 4 will soon be released the first expansion, and it will not be the last."
