Portal designer joins EA's Motive Studios

Kim Swift is mostly known for her contributions to the seminal Valve title Portal. She has now joined EA's Motive Studios, and was welcomed by group general manager Jade Raymond, whom you may remember from Assassin's Creed.

Motive Studios is currently working alongside Visceral Games on a new Star Wars game. Amy Hennig, who is best known from Uncharted series, is heading up that production. However, it is unclear if Swift is meant to work on that game, or as what is more likely the case on something entirely different.

Jade Raymond stated that it is with "...great pleasure that I welcome Kim Swift to Motive Studios and EA as Design Director. Well known for her innovative work on the Portal and Left for Dead Franchises, Kim has already had a huge impact on the Game Industry."
