About Capital Games
Capital Games is a video game development studio based in Sacramento, California, operating within Electronic Arts. Its work centers on mobile role-playing games, collectible characters, squad-building progression and turn-based strategy combat. The studio develops games and supports them through live operations, ongoing content updates, game economy balancing and community gameplay support.
The team brings together design, engineering, art, audio and quality assurance capabilities. Its portfolio includes licensed entertainment properties, with development spanning mobile platforms and, more recently, a dedicated Windows PC client for its longest-running title.
Games and live operations
Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes, launched in November 2015, is the studio's flagship game. Developed in collaboration with Lucasfilm and Disney, it combines character collection with tactical squad combat. The supplied research reports more than 100 million downloads and over $1.4 billion in lifetime player spending. Capital Games expanded the game to PC through the EA App in 2024 while continuing its live-service development.
The studio also developed The Lord of the Rings: Heroes of Middle-earth, released in May 2023 under license from Middle-earth Enterprises. EA sunset the game in early 2024, redirecting resources toward Galaxy of Heroes and unannounced projects. Another earlier release, Heroes of Dragon Age, launched in December 2013 and continued operating until January 2023.
From social games to mobile RPGs
The business began in 2008 as KlickNation, developing free-to-play social role-playing games for web platforms including Facebook. Its early releases included SuperHero City, Six Gun Galaxy and Age of Champions.
Electronic Arts acquired KlickNation in December 2011 and initially placed the Sacramento team under the BioWare label as BioWare Sacramento. The studio adopted the Capital Games name during its subsequent reorganization in late 2013–2014. Its history connects browser-based social games with an ongoing focus on licensed mobile RPGs and long-term title operations.
