US EditionFormer Battlefield 6 Developer Criticises EA for Excluding Ridgeline Team From Game Credits
Marcus Lehto highlights that Ridgeline developers who built Battlefield 6’s foundation were mostly omitted or relegated to minor credit sections after the studio closed in early 2024.
- Lehto warned he was disappointed that former Ridgeline Games developers who helped on Battlefield 6 were omitted from main credits.
- The studio closed in February 2024 after Lehto's departure as part of an EA restructuring that cut 670 employees, ending Ridgeline Games' role developing Battlefield 6's narrative campaign.
- Posting on LinkedIn, Lehto listed colleagues’ names and roles to `properly` recognize them, saying many Ridgeline developers were relegated to a `Special Thanks` section or omitted.
- Lehto's complaint arrived after Battlefield 6's record-breaking release, whose multiplayer won praise while the campaign faltered, and the final credits list DICE, Ripple Effect, Motive and Criterion but omit most Ridgeline contributors.
- EA said work on the campaign would continue, an internal note named Danny Isaac, Criterion producer, and Darren White, studio head of creative, to lead it, and EA later announced Battlefield Studios, the four-strong developer collective.
