Electronic Arts is on a roll. Even though their whole “paying extra to play online for used games” sucks big time, they’ve been doing good with developers. After joining forces with the two main dudes behind Infinity Ward and Modern Warfare, EA has partnered up with Insomniac Games through their EA Partners program. Its partnership program allows developers to be independent while EA will be in charge of publishing. Insomniac has been developing for Sony for decades, but this deal will have them developing an all-new franchise from the PS3 to the Xbox 360. This will mark their first multiplatform release in Insomniac’s storied 16-year history.
“Working with EA Partners allows us to extend the reach of our games to a multiplatform audience while retaining ownership of the intellectual property,” said Ted Price, founder and CEO of Insomniac Games. “We are excited and eager to introduce Insomniac to a new group of gamers while reinforcing to our loyal fans what makes our games special.”
“This is an exciting day for all of us at EA Partners and for gamers everywhere,” said David DeMartini, Senior Vice President and General Manager of EA Partners. “Insomniac is renowned for their commitment to quality and their ability to create unique, exciting worlds for gamers to explore. We look forward to help them bring their next blockbuster franchise to the millions of diehard Insomniac fans on PlayStation and the soon to be millions of diehard Insomniac fans on Xbox 360.”
