EA is rebranding its in-house engine Frostbite to reflect its “renewed focus on partnership” with its studios, but also says its teams are “free to develop on any engine they choose”.
Frostbite was originally developed by DICE for use in its Battlefield series, and has since been adopted internally at other studios also owned by its parent company EA.
Historically, the engine was used by BioWare to develop Mass Effect: Andromeda and Anthem to mixed reception on technical performance. Recently, it was used in this year’s Dead Space remake and EA’s numerous annual sports franchises.
