Former PlayStation executive Connie Booth, one of the key architects of PlayStations first party portfolio before leaving the company in 2023 is joining EA as it continues to restructure IGN has learned.
Connie is joining EA as the Group General Manager, Action RPG division and will report directly to EA Entertainment head Laura Miele. Her portfolio will include studios BioWare (Dragon Age, Mass Effect), EA Motive (Iron Man) and Cliffhanger (Black Panther).
"Connie spent more than 30 years helping to build Sony Interactive Entertainment's internal studios and is responsible for guiding the development of some of their biggest franchises, including Marvel's Spider-Man 1 & 2, The Last of Us, Ghost of Tsushima, Uncharted, Ratchet and Clank, to name just a few,” Miele said in a statement.
“She is known for having created an incredible developer-first culture and supporting creative vision while driving innovation. I have known Connie for many years and have always been impressed by her love and commitment to games. She especially cares about game developers. She has an impeccable reputation within the development community and will undoubtedly have a positive impact on our games.”
Connie will be tasked with helping turn around EA's RPG studios which have had mixed results at best lately with EA going through massive layoffs as it tries to right their ship.
