The Russian legal entity of Electronic Arts has been liquidated

The registered Russian LLC "Electronic Arts" has been liquidated, according to open data from the Unified State Register of Legal Entities. The company acted as the Russian representative of the American game publisher.

The record of the company's liquidation was entered into the Unified State Register of Legal Entities on March 31, 2023. The founders of the Russian branch were the Dutch company Electronic Arts Nederland B.V. with a 99% stake and German Electronic Arts GmbH with a 1% stake. The registered charter capital was 21,097,879 rubles. The company, registered in Russia on May 24, 2007, is now inactive.

Following in the footsteps of many other Western businesses, American Electronic Arts suspended sales of games and microtransactions in Russia and Belarus in March of last year. In November, it was announced that the company had decided to permanently leave Russia, with a statement of liquidation of the legal entity submitted on October 3, 2022.

Currently, Electronic Arts is actively optimizing its activities: the decision was made to close Apex Legends Mobile, stop work on Battlefield Mobile, cancel the single-player shooter Titanfall Legends, and reduce the workforce by 6%, which is approximately 780 people.
