“His legacy will endure, shaping the way games are built and how players interact for many generations to come.”
Electronic Arts has issued a formal statement regarding the passing of Vince Zampella, the head of the Battlefield franchise.
This is an irreplaceable loss, and our hearts are with Vince’s family, his loved ones, and everyone whose lives were enriched by his creative vision. Vince’s impact on the video game industry was both monumental and all-encompassing. As a friend, colleague, leader, and visionary creator, his work helped define the landscape of modern interactive entertainment and served as an inspiration to millions of players and developers worldwide. His legacy will continue to guide how games are developed and how communities connect for many generations to come.
Reports indicate that Vince Zampella was allegedly operating a Ferrari 296 GTS supercar—a model not scheduled for commercial release until 2026—at the time of the incident. While a video claiming to capture the accident has been circulating online, its authenticity has not yet been verified.
