The Californian branch of Digital Illusions Creative Entertainment, known by the acronym DICE, has found its own identity. Independence declares the first intentions after Battlefield 2042 will be discovered.

DICE Los Angeles on behalf of Ripple Effect Studios. The Los Angeles studio is headed by Christian Grass and, as we learned last January, looked after by Vince Zampella. The current project is a still secret mode of Battlefield 2042 (but not Battle Royale), teased as “the next big experiment” and which will be revealed on July 22nd during EA Play LIVE.
Here are the words of the general director of the structure:
At Ripple Effects Studios, the focus is on innovation and quality in every project, because even a small idea can change the world. That’s what defines the new name of the studio. We are very proud of our work and DICE LA and the DICE team will stay in our DNA forever. But over the past eight years we have developed our own culture and approach. We strive to look to the future, expand the team and establish our own identity.
Small surprise that we can imagine: With the name change, DICE Los Angeles also wants to demonstrate a little more self-confidence. The Electronic Arts press release quickly states that in addition to the development of Battlefield 2042, Ripple Effect “begins the development of an unannounced project”. We can bet this first studio project will be good enough that we don’t have to rename it … Repulse Effect.
