Victory Games

Victory Games (known as BioWare Victory in 2012) was a studio formed from Electronic Arts Los Angeles' RTS division for the purpose of developing future Command & Conquer titles, after the studio was split to two (the other half being Danger Close). It was headed by Jon Van Caneghem, the creator of the Might & Magic series. It was created in late 2010 under the name Victory Games, but was not introduced publicly until February 2011. The name was restored in November 2012, after the studio detached from BioWare along with Mythic.Reilly, Jim (8 November 2012). "Mythic, Victory Drop 'BioWare' Label". Game Informer.
