EA Black Box[]
EA Black Box was founded when EA acquired Black Box Games in 2002, as a part of EA Canada. It became an independent EA studio in 2005. In March 2003, the firm decided that they lacked space for their current projects so the top four floors of an office tower in downtown were used for expansion. EA Black Box have since its founding been home for among others the Need for Speed franchise.
