Visceral Games General Manager Steve Papoutsis has left Electronic Arts.
This departure comes shortly after the release of Visceral's latest game, Battlefield Hardline, though EA has said in a statement that the departure is unrelated to the success or otherwise of that game. Papoutsis will be succeeded by Scott Probst, who has been with the company since 2003 and is also the son of long-time EA executive Larry Probst.
"We are thankful for Steve’s many contributions to EA and wish him the best," said EA in a statement to Kotaku.
