Famed video game designer Will Wright has left publisher Electronic Arts.

He has departed to run side-project Stupid Fun Club, a thank tank studio for producing new game ideas, according to Eurogamer.

However, as the publisher is the principal shareholder in the studio, it reserves the right to use its ideas in future games.

In a statement, Wright said that he looks forward to continue working with his old colleagues under the new studio.

"In my twelve years at EA, I’ve had the pleasure to work alongside some of the brightest and most talented game developers in the industry and I look forward to working with them again in the near future.

"The entertainment industry is moving rapidly into an era of revolutionary change. Stupid Fun Club will explore new possibilities that are emerging from this sublime chaos and create new forms of entertainment on a variety of platforms."

Will Wright has produced some of the most successful PC games in the last two decades, including The Sims, SimCity and Spore.
