Two subsidiaries to be rolled up into one, led by BioWare's founders

What fun filled roll-ups are they gonna roll out with next?  The merger madness this week extends to internal subsidiaries, as Electronic Arts will be bundling up its BioWare and Mythic teams into one sleeker package commandeered by BioWare's finest.  Longtime BioWare leads Ray Muzyka and Greg Zeschuk will continue to oversee this new entity in its capacity as "RPG/MMO studio group".  The Herald announcement certainly makes it clear that BioWare's studios will remain largely unchanged.

Things are little different over on Mythic's side.  Mythic's General Manager Mark Jacobs, who put a face behind the development of Warhammer Online as well as crusader against online cheaters, is leaving EA altogether following the restructuring of the Mythic and BioWare units.  Jacobs will be replaced by fellow Mythic staffer Rob Denton, who previously served as the subsidiary's COO.  Warhammer Online continues to operate, indeed the desert lands of Nehekhara are now open for Realms previously locked out of the Rise of the Tomb Kings live event.
