“It is a great honor to have the opportunity to collaborate with
DICE and Ripple Effect and lead the charge on expanding the

the breathtaking views from the mountains are a strong influence on

of the work we do to reach the top and how we strive for that
beauty in all we do.
With their ambition, passion, and years of experience across
many of the best titles in the games industry, Marcus and team are
excited to tell stories and take players on incredible adventures
that are only possible within the Battlefield universe.

bringing in new talent and perspectives,” said Vince Zampella,
Respawn founder and head of the Battlefield franchise. “With Marcus
and his team at Ridgeline Games joining the world-class global team
we have already in place, Battlefield is in the strongest position
to succeed.”
