Halo co-creator and Battlefield game director Marcus Lehto has left EA.
Lehto – who had been heading up Seattle-based Ridgeline Games, an EA studio dedicated to the Battlefield franchise – has seemingly scrubbed all mentions of Battlefield and EA from their social media bio, as well as updated their LinkedIn to state they’ve now left EA.
As spotted by “Battlefield connoisseur” DANNYonPC and Insider Gaming, Ridgeline Games currently has no job openings on its careers site, and Ridgeline’s co-founder and art director, Chris Matthews, also left the studio in January 2024 to join Halo developer 343 as studio art director.
