Vice President and overall director of the Swedish game studio will additionally oversee management for Criterion.
Digital Arts has broadened Rebecka Coutaz’s responsibilities, appointing her to lead both DICE and the UK-based Criterion studio.
Both studios will continue to operate independently under Rebecka’s guidance as Vice President and overall manager of Battlefield Studios Europe—DICE and Criterion—collaborating on upcoming Battlefield games alongside additional partnerships with North American studios Motive and Ripple Effect.
Coutaz initially joined DICE as Vice President and overall manager in November 2021, shortly after the release of Battlefield 2042. She possesses over 25 years of experience in the gaming industry, including more than a decade at Ubisoft and another decade at Atari.
She was also honored with the Chevalier des Arts et des Lettres (Knight of Arts and Letters) by the French Minister of Culture in 2022 for her contributions to the arts through her work in video gaming.
In her new position, she will focus on enhancing both DICE and Criterion, as well as aiding in defining the future of the Battlefield franchise.
“Since joining DICE in 2021, I’ve had the privilege of collaborating with an exceptionally talented and diverse team,” she stated. “I feel truly honored to.”
