EA working on Project Atlas

EA has announced it is working on something called Project Atlas - designed to seamlessly converge EA’s Frostbite game engine and game services as well as artificial intelligence — giving rise to a new game development platform, optimized for a cloud-enabled world.

EA has been heavily investing in a new generation of online game services over the past several years. This will be a fully integrated platform, capable of building the scalable, social, and large-scale experiences of the future. So, while in the past, features like cloud hosting, matchmaking, marketplace, data, AI, achievements, and social were separate from the development tools in the engine, the Project Atlas platform will be able to implement all of these services natively within a unified solution.

EA has over 1,000 employees working on building Project Atlas, and dozens of studios around the world contributing their innovations, driving priorities, and already using many of the components.
