MMORPG's Jon Wood spoke with EA Mythic VP and General Manager Mark Jacobs this week about some exciting news and the first part is available now with the remaining "big announcement" to follow tomorrow. Today's announcement revolves around EA Mythic reverting back to it's original name of Mythic Entertainment.

Today, MMORPG.com learned that EA Mythic will be going through another transition as the company reclaims the Mythic Entertainment name.

“We are going back to Mythic Entertainment,” said Mark Jacobs, the VP and General Manager of EA Mythic. “I’ve always been a believer of separate branding,” he continued, going on to cite a number of successful companies like Disney and GE that operate subsidiary companies under separate and distinct brands.

“I think that this is a wonderful example of how things at EA are changing,” he continued, “both John (Riccitiello, CEO of EA) and Frank (Gibeau, EA) have spoken multiple times about city states, more freedom, that sort of thing and I think this is an obvious example.”
