Breaking: Activision, EA Reach Settlement

Activision and Electronic Arts say they have settled their law suit which was filed by the Call of Duty publisher in 2012. Activision added EA to a countersuit against Infinity Ward founders Jason West and Vince Zampella, accusing EA of trying to “hijack” its top talent.

In December 2010, Activision’s filing stated that “Electronic Arts set out to destabilize, disrupt and to attempt to destroy Infinity Ward,” allegedly by attempts to poach employees responsible for creating the Call of Duty: Modern Warfare games.

The two companies announced they have settled their legal differences, which leaves the Call of Duty publisher free to focus efforts on ex-Infinity Ward heads West and Zampella.

“Activision and EA have agreed to put this matter behind them,” reads a joint statement from the publishers. Details of the settlement have not been disclosed by EA or Activision.

Activision’s suit against West and Zampella and the Infinity Ward Employee Group heads to court on May 29.
