EA shutters Command & Conquer: Tiberium Alliances developer EA Phenomic

Battleforge developer EA Phenomic has been closed by Electronic Arts. The German studio employed 60 people, most recently creating free-to-play browser games like Command & Conquer: Tiberium Alliances. The move comes as part of EA’s focus on giving priority to “growth areas,” according to a company statement.

Command & Conquer: Tiberium Alliances (our review) is EA’s web-based strategy game, loosely based on the PC game franchise Command & Conquer. The social game allows players to defeat both computer controlled enemies and those controlled by other real players on a persistent map.
