EA to publish new Epic IP

by Justin McElroy on Aug 14th 2008 5:25PM

EA's got an impressive stable of original games due in the near future, and it has just added another one to the list: The company announced it's signed a deal with Epic to publish a new intellectual property from the latter's People Can Fly studio, the same folks that brought you Painkiller. It's an action game (duh) coming to the PS3, 360 and PC and that's all EA's saying at the moment.

If you remember, Epic's Mark Rein was extolling the virtues of this mystery game (we're assuming it's the same one) last August, saying, "[They] showed us their early prototypes within only a few weeks and we were totally blown away." Let's hope we get the same feeling when Unnamed EA/Epic/People Can Fly Action Game arrives ... at some point.

So it will have a gun that shoots lightning and shurikens?

no there will be a group of young fairy elf women with wands that shoot rainbows and glitter.

You guys have like the worlds fastest photoshop user.

Yeah, really. Who is the one that does your images, anyway?

Each poster does their own, iirc

well, I guess since Midway seems to be going down, they needed a new partner.

Are you ready for...........MADDEN OF WAR!!!!
the gears of war characters take a day off an have a good game of football....

Well, it isn't REALLY from epic, so it probably wont be Bigger, better, and more badass, thankfully

I liked Painkiller quite a lot. It hasn't aged very well, but the gunplay was some of the best I've ever seen in first person.

Hopefully with the big budget that comes with working for Epic, they can churn out something really special.
