E3 2017: New Co-op Game A Way Out Announced at EA Presser By Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons Creator
A story-driven co-op game, A Way Out, was just announced at Electronic Arts’ E3 2017 presser. Brought to you by the maker of co-op game Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons, Josef Fares, A Way Out features two men who seek to escape prison for their own personal reasons. Take a look at the official gameplay trailer below!
Players are meant to enjoy the game through split screen gameplay, teaming up with a friend either online or in person, though Fares stated that he would prefer the latter. Each player will control one of the two characters and must work together to escape prison. A Way Out is to be a thrilling adventure game as well as an emotional journey as it “explores the notion of trust, companionship and facing up to consequences.” The game is being developed by Fares’ new studio, Hazelight.
“Josef and his team at Hazelight represent everything that EA Originals stands for,” stated Patrick Soderlund, Executive Vice President of EA. “They are a small and very talented group with a vision and passion for a game that is truly unique in the video game industry. A Way Out is going to surprise people with its innovative co-op gameplay and the way it tells an emotional story solely through these two characters.”
A Way Out will be released digitally in early 2018 on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Windows PC via Origin. Keep it locked to COGconnected as we continue our E3 2017 coverage!
