After closing Ridgeline Games, EA didn't mention the devs on the Battlefield 6 credits
, by Thibaut
Several studios were involved in the development of Battlefield 6. Unfortunately, one of these companies was closed down by Electronic Arts during the process.
Ridgeline Games was involved in the project from the very beginning of production. Led at the time by Marcus Lehto (known as the co-creator of Halo), the studio closed its doors in 2024 and was therefore unable to see the launch of the latest Battlefield game. Worse still, Lehto was upset that his team was not properly mentioned in the game's end credits.
"I’m disappointed to see that many of my former teammates from Ridgeline Games were not properly credited in the recent release of Battlefield 6.
These talented developers worked tirelessly for 1 to 2.5 years, building the foundation of the game, before I left voluntarily and the studio was subsequently shuttered. Despite their significant contributions, most who were laid off were relegated to a “Special Thanks” section at the very end of the credits — and several were omitted entirely, including myself.
*Out of respect for my colleagues and the awesome work they poured into this project, I want to take a moment to properly recognize them — listing their names and roles as I would have preferred them to appear in the credits.
Game development is a team effort, and every contributor deserves fair acknowledgment."
