Sony Loses A Major Name To EA
Longtime PlayStation boss Connie Booth left Sony in 2023–and no reason was ever provided for her departure. Now, she’s landed at Electronic Arts in the role of Group Manager, Action RPG. In that position, Booth will oversee EA Motive, Cliffhanger, and BioWare, studios that are responsible for upcoming titles like Man, Black Panther, and the next Dragon Age and Mass Effect titles, respectively.
EA boss Laura Miele told IGN that Booth is “known for having created an incredible developer-first culture and supporting creative vision while driving innovation.”
In her 30+ years at Sony, Booth helped to build PlayStation’s internal studios and guided the development of titles like Spider-Man 1 and 2, The Last of Us, Ghost of Tsushima, Uncharted, and Ratchet & Clank, among others.
