DICE Los Angeles (formerly DreamWorks Interactive L.L.C., later EA Los Angeles, and lastly Danger Close Games) is an American video game developer and a division of EA DICE. The company was founded in 1995 as joint venture between DreamWorks SKG and Microsoft under the name DreamWorks Interactive. It was acquired by Electronic Arts and renamed EA Los Angeles in 2000, and to Danger Close Games in 2010. In 2013, the studio became a division of EA DICE and received the name DICE Los Angeles. The company is primarily known for having developed the Medal of Honor and Command & Conquer series of video games.
DreamWorks Interactive was formed on March 22, 1995 as a joint venture between DreamWorks SKG and Microsoft. The studio was led by Steven Spielberg, releasing a number of titles based on various licensed properties. In 1999, the studio saw its most successful release with first-person shooter video game Medal of Honor, published by Electronic Arts on October 31, 1999 for PlayStation.
Following the success of Medal of Honor, Electronic Arts acquired DreamWorks Interactive from DreamWorks SKG and Microsoft on February 24, 2000. The company was renamed EA Los Angeles and would from then on focus on developing titles in the Medal of Honor series, releasing Medal of Honor: Underground the same year. On August 6, 2003, EA Los Angeles moved from their offices in Bel Air to a new campus in Playa Vista. On that campus, the studio was merged with EA Pacific, and received some employees from previously closed Westwood Studios, leading EA Los Angeles to start working in the Command & Conquer series.
