Motive joins Battlefield | Update from Patrick Klaus, GM
Read time: 2 mins | An update on Motive advancing the future of Battlefield while continuing development on Iron Man.
Hi everyone,
As we progress into the new year and I celebrate my fifth year working at Motive as Studio General Manager, I’m proud to share more news on how we maintain our long-term strategy of two world-class game teams developing projects side by side.
In my last update, I spoke about the studio going through an important period of evolution; we invested in developing our people in more ways than ever, and we improved our workspaces for teams to collaborate to their fullest and deliver the best game possible. That period of evolution and elevation continues today, with the exciting announcement that a group of developers from Motive are joining the talented teams at Criterion, DICE and Ripple Effect to continue unlocking the full potential of Battlefield.
The directors who delivered our Dead Space remake in 2023, Philippe Ducharme (Executive Producer) and Roman Campos-Oriola (Creative Director), will build a team at Motive to work alongside the Battlefield studios around the world creating what’s next for Battlefield– a universe across both multiplayer and single-player experiences. Their proven expertise in storytelling, immersive battles and developing on the Frostbite engine uniquely positions them to help advance the vision for Battlefield, led by Vince Zampella (EVP, Group GM of Respawn and Battlefield) and Byron Beede (SVP, GM Battlefield).
In parallel, development continues to move forward on our Iron Man project, led by Olivier Proulx (Executive Producer) and Ian Frazier (Creative Director). The team made excellent progress this year, hitting a major internal milestone and laying a robust foundation for the journey ahead. Iron Man is an important priority for Motive, and I’m very proud of the work we’ve accomplished so far.
If you want to join our world-class teams in Montreal, take a look at our open roles. We plan to continue growing over the coming year, so if you don’t see anything that fits your profile today, check back in with us soon.
