[Trailer Added] EA Originals Indie Publishing Program Kicks Off With Zoink Studios' Fe
Last year, EA vice president Patrick Soderlund told us that the publisher would be investing more in indies like Coldwood's Unravel. Today, EA announced a new indie publishing program called EA Originals.
The first game under the program, which seems like a successor to the defunct EA Partners initiative, is Fe from Zoink Studios. You play a strange creature that is trying to uncover the mysteries of his species.
Each plant and animal in the forest has its own song, and learning a new one connects you further with the world and opens up more areas to explore. The forest is not without its dangers, though. The Silent Ones have a nefarious purpose you'll need to overcome.
EA has more Originals projects it will be talking about in the coming months. As part of the program, the publisher says it is providing support, but also will return significant profits to developers.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
