Electronic Arts and Infinity Ward Pay Tribute to Vince Zampella

The passing of Vince Zampella prompted responses from the companies most closely tied to his career. Statements were issued by Electronic Arts and Infinity Ward — the studio Zampella co-founded and one that played a pivotal role in his professional legacy.

Electronic Arts highlighted the scale of Zampella’s impact on the evolution of video games and expressed condolences to his family and loved ones.

A separate message was published by Infinity Ward — the studio Zampella led during a formative period and where the history of the Call of Duty series began.

Vince Zampella was one of the key figures of the modern video game industry. He stood at the origins of Infinity Ward and the Call of Duty franchise, contributing to the development of Call of Duty 2 and Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare.

He later co-founded Respawn Entertainment, where he oversaw projects such as Titanfall, Titanfall 2, and Apex Legends. In recent years, Zampella was responsible for the development of the Battlefield franchise at Electronic Arts, including work on Battlefield 6, and also oversaw the revival of the Medal of Honor series as well as EA’s shooter division as a whole.
