The initiative inspired by Unravel's success is now publishing bigger-budget games whose creators have worked on the likes of Dynasty Warriors and Call of Duty.
, Jeff Gamon, the general manager of EA Partners who oversees EA Originals, said he is"hugely proud of that relationship we have with all of our partners, regardless of how things worked out. With [Velan Studios founders] Guha and Karthik, I am still very close to them. Every step of the way we were by their side. Completely transparent. These things are built in collaboration from day one.
"We've discovered a desire for bigger, better and more innovative titles that complement the EA portfolio," Gamon said."So where we started off with smaller, indie games we are now graduating to independently created games of all shapes and sizes and scope and budget. We are moving away from niche, and towards bold and audacious."
Gamon did emphasize that, in spite of this move away from niche, EA Originals would continue to publish lower-budget games in addition to these potential blockbusters."We are making games of a bigger scale," he said,"but we are also still partnering—and we have one or two in the pipeline—on smaller games as well. Those fundamental values still stand. The structure of any deal is completely bespoke.
Wild Hearts is due to release this week, with Immortals of Aveum to follow at an unspecified date later in 2023. One more game under the EA Originals umbrella has been revealed and that's RustHeart, which is being developed by Glowmade Games, a studio founded by ex-Lionhead staff.Sign up to get the best content of the week, and great gaming deals, as picked by the editors.
