About EA Studios - Metalhead Studios
Metalhead Software Inc., doing business as Metalhead Studios, is a Canadian video game developer headquartered in Victoria, British Columbia. Founded in 2009 by Scott Drader and Christian Zuger, the studio was acquired by Electronic Arts (EA) in May 2021 and operates as a subsidiary.
The studio specializes in developing high-fidelity, arcade-style sports video games, with a primary focus on baseball. Its mission is to create approachable yet deep sports gaming experiences that prioritize fun, original intellectual properties (IPs), and refined gameplay mechanics.
