On May 29, 2014, Electronic Arts announced it would be "closing the EA Mythic location in Fairfax",[2] effectively winding down all the studio's operations. Despite the studio's closure, Dark Age of Camelot will continue to be supported by ex-Mythic staff under a new studio, Broadsword, which is also responsible for maintaining Ultima Online.[3] As of 2018, the name remains a registered trademark of EA.
