Thank you for all your support over the years, especially to all the very talented colleagues I’ve had the pleasure of working with, and most of all for the love and support of the community,” he said. “I’m sure I speak for both of us when I say we’re excited to move pass the baton to the creators of the next generation of Battlefield at DICE, Ripple Effect, Industrial Toys and Ridgeline Games and see how the series evolves in their skilled hands – you’re ready to do this! Goodbye and don’t forget to play the objective!”
