Starbreeze reworking major EA franchise

Posted on February 21st, 2008 at 11:36 EDT

Electronic Arts announced today that one of the company’s prominent franchises is to be reworked for next-generation consoles and PC, under guidance from Swedish developer Starbreeze.

Details are sketchy as to what the project might be, although the company is currently referring to it as “Project RedLime”, with press coverage labelling it as "an incredibly innovative take on a classic property.”

The title is already said to be “deep” in development.

Starbreeze CEO Johan Kristiansson commented: "We're excited to bring a new perspective and gameplay innovation to this beloved fiction.”

“EA Partners gives independent developers like Starbreeze access to EA’s unrivaled global publishing infrastructure, letting us focus our energy on what we do best – making incredible games,” he added.

Starbreeze is best known for its work on titles such as The Darkness and The Chronicles of Riddick.

Stay tuned to PSU for further information as we get it.

Well, you know if EA touches it then it's bound to degenerate into trash.  Nuff said.

EA isn't great at making games, but apparently at business deals. So for them paying others to make the games for them (and in this case remake) is the best thing they do for us :)

With the apparent success of "Overlord", maybe EA will have them revive Dungeon Keeper. Probably not, (I'd swear EA bought Bullfrog just to shut down all their great games), but I'm going to wish for that!

It won't be Fight Night or Madden...its a remake of a CLASSIC as in RETRO !!

 

Dunno why but I think  they'll start making new Road Rash games..dunno, its the first EA series that hasn't had a new iteration in about a decade that popped into my mind !! Would be awesome in next gen though !!

Well this may turn out to be another EA game with little to offer, but luckily they're not making it so it might surprise me

You'd have to rework every EA game to make it profitable.
