Robert Ludlum's The Bourne Conspiracy was released last June by Activision after being developed by High Moon Studios.
However, following negotiations with Bourne IP owner Ludlum Entertainment, EA will now oversee all future games featuring the American assassin who suffers from amnesia.
The agreement includes taking over publisher duties for the latest title in the series being developed by Swedish studio Starbreeze.
Mike Quigley, EA's group vice-president of marketing, described the Bourne character as "the most exciting action hero to emerge in decades".
"EA is excited to enter into a long-term relationship with Ludlum Entertainment, bringing the action, intrigue and intensity of Robert Ludlum’s fiction to life for casual and core gamers around the globe," he added.
Ludlum Entertainment also recently entered into an agreement with Universal Pictures to develop future movies based on the Bourne character.
