“We continue to connect innovative and creatively distinct new
games from the best and boldest independent game makers to a global
audience of players,” said Matt Bilbey, EVP Strategic Growth. “We
want to offer our players the broadest, highest quality content
possible, with the best access possible. Whether you join us to
play EA’s biggest franchises like Apex Legends, one of the more
than 200 games available from more than 85 content partners in our
Origin Access subscription*, or for innovative EA Originals titles
like A Way Out, we have something compelling to offer.”
EA Originals supports up-and-coming studios by showcasing
unique, innovative games to more players on all
platforms. Following the success of Coldwood Studios’
Unravel™, the label has built a proven track record with the
BAFTA-winning A Way Out by Hazelight and Fe by Zoink, blazing the
trail for games like Sea of Solitude by Jo-Mei Games launching on
July 5, 2019. The success of these partnerships has expanded the
collaborative charter with new independent developers, such as the
recently announced RustHeart from Glowmade and new EA Partner Velan
Studios for more inspiring future titles.
EA is also increasing its commitment to players by offering more
quality games from some of best developers in the industry through
its subscription services. With EA Access on PlayStation® 4
launching this July in addition to Xbox One and PC services, EA
will offer subscriptions on more platforms than any other gaming
company. EA’s Origin Access on PC gives players one of the deepest
and highest rated catalogs of PC games available, featuring more
than 200 games from more than 85 content partners boasting an
average Metacritic score of 80. The library features games from
award-winning studios like 11bit who will release Frostpunk and
Moonlighter into the service later this year, to narrative-driven
indie darlings like Supergiant Games’ Pyre, new releases like
Tropico 6, Mutant Year Zero, Breathedge, alongside EA franchises
like Battlefield and FIFA. To learn more about the content

Zoink’s Lost in Random is another stand out fantasy action
adventure from the studio that brought you the magical EA Originals

handmade robot sidekick as they adventure across a vibrant, alien
multiverse. Glowmade’s RustHeart taps into the simple joy of
creating in a uniquely cooperative setting: a compelling mix of
tactical action-roleplay gameplay, player invention and spray
paint.
Hazelight Studios

delivering story-driven, co-operative, and highly unexpected
experiences, following the success of EA Originals title, A Way
