Electronic Arts was founded 25 years ago by individuals with a deep passion for making games. Many things have changed over the years as the gaming industry—and the company—has expanded immensely, but we are still driven by the same passion for developing, publishing, and distributing the world’s best games. Our history has been one of great success, and our future looks even brighter. Gaming has come a long way from Pac-Man & Space Invaders to modern EA Favorites like Burnout, Battlefield, Mercenaries, Dead Space, Spore, FIFA, Madden, Need for Speed and the world’s most successful game franchise: The Sims. Fueled by our talented staff at locations right across the Globe we are united in our passion to continue shaping the future of interactive entertainment.

Since 2003, Electronic Arts Montreal is the studio responsible for Army of Two, Need For Speed Nitro, Boogie Superstar, SSX Blur, NHL 2007, as well as several other unannounced franchises.
In 2010 EAM has joined forces with Visceral games and together we are now focused solely on AAA HD titles.
We are passionate about games and daily pushing the boundaries of creativity and technology, EAM is THE place to be for a career in video games.
