EA pulls plug on Tiberium, was not up to standard

EA have revealed that Tiberium, the tactical first-person shooter video game title set in the Command & Conquer universe has been axed. It is now unlikely the game will ever get released, unless it gets taken up by a different team at the company. The game was being developed at EA Los Angeles over the course of the last year.

Kotaku goes onto report that multiple members of the team that worked on the game have now been released from EA. However, EA seem willing to try and give these affected people other opportunities within the industry.

“EA has suspended work on Tiberium effective immediately,” comments Mariam Sughayer, EA spokesperson. “The game was not on track to meet the high quality standards set by the team and by the EA Games Label. A lower quality game is not in the best interest of the consumers and would not succeed in this market. This decision will result in some individuals being released. However, EA will make every effort to place talented people on other projects. Eligible employees will receive severance and outplacement support.”
