EA King Solomons itself and, weirdly for a games publisher, EA Games no longer exists

Andrew Wilson, chief executive officer of Electronic Arts Inc. (EA), speaks during the company's EA Play event ahead of the E3 Electronic Entertainment Expo in Los Angeles, California, U.S., on Saturday, June 9, 2018. EA announced that it is introducing a higher-end version of its subscription game-playing service that will include new titles such as Battlefield V and the Madden NFL 19 football game

Don't cry because it's over, smile because it happened. EA is splitting up with itself in a big internal shakeup that will see EA Games and EA Sports cut into two distinct units within the company. EA Games is also getting a rebrand: It's going to be called EA Entertainment from now on, suggesting that the company has plans to expand beyond gaming in some capacity. Who's up for a Syndicate film?

EA CEO Andrew Wilson announced the news in a post (originally shared with EA employees) to the company's website. In it, Wilson said that EA lifer Laura Miele, who's been with the company for near-on three decades, "has been appointed President of EA Entertainment, Technology & Central Development".
