Coldwood Interactive Signs with EA for Another Game
As part of the recent Electronic Arts’ Investor Day, the EA Studios Executive Vice President, Patrick Söderlund made an announcement that Coldwood Interactive had signed a publishing deal with EA for its next game. For those of you not in the know, Coldwood Interactive is the team that brought you the charming wonder, Unravel back at the beginning of 2016.
Earlier this year, we released Unravel, a one-of-a-kind, physics-based puzzle platformer that captured the hearts of players around the world. The awesomely creative development team at Coldwood Interactive brought tiny, endearing Yarny to life. And since then, it’s been quite incredible to see the community’s love for Yarny, both in the game and beyond.
At EA, we love working with creative and passionate development teams, in our own studios and our partners. Which is why I’m very pleased to announce that we’ve signed a new agreement with Coldwood to work with them on their next project.
We don’t have any details to share right now, but we look forward to sharing more when the time is right. We could not be more excited to continue working with Martin Sahlin and the great team at Coldwood, and to see the next adventure they bring to life.
Unravel was very well received critically, you can read our review here, so the thought of Coldwood bringing another game to the table is an exciting one. Here’s a snippet of what Executive Editor, Shawn Petraschuk had to say about Yarny and Unravel;
When reviewing a game you have to look at the sum of all its parts added up and in this case, Unravel doesn’t miss a step. A wonder to play, a joy to experience, a feast for the senses and a heartfelt story told by a team of passionate developers. I can promise you that you’ve spent 20 bucks in worse places than this and you’d be missing out on one of 2016’s greatest games if you passed this one up.
