EA and Epic Games Partner Up

Recently Electronic Arts announced that it has entered into a publishing agreement with Gears of War-developer Epic Games to deliver a "all-new action title for the PC, Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3". Absolutely no details about the game itself have been announced, but considering the pedigree of the studio responsible for the Unreal Engine, it should be something to look forward to.

From the press release:

“Epic is excited to work with EA Partners to launch our next big IP on the global stage,” said Mark Rein, vice president, Epic Games.  “EA Partners gives independent developers like Epic the muscle of a global publisher like EA, along with the focus and flexibility of a smaller team committed to working with our individual needs.”

 

“In the last year, EAP has become a powerhouse player in the publishing world with the best of breed developers signing on to leverage EA’s studio-focused philosophy, global scale and publishing leadership,” said Frank Gibeau, President of the EA Games Label. ”Epic brings first class talent and technology to the development of this new title. We are very proud to have Epic join the growing roster of EA Partners.”
