Everything in this forest has its own unique song that it uses to communicate with, and the player will learn these songs that will deepen your connection with the forest and its inhabitants.ĮA teased many new Star Wars games in development, without actually showing anything of substance. Zoink is interested in exploring how everything is connected in a delicate balance through Fe, especially people and nature. Fe presents a forest, soaked in dark blue and purple hues, from the perspective of small deer/fox-like creature. “ Fe is a personal narrative about our relationship with nature,” Klaus Lyngeled, head of Zoink Games, said. In an amazing cherry-on-top move, Söderlund said ”With EA Originals, we want all of the profit from these games to go back into the hands of the developers.” They then showed the first game that will come out of EA Originals, Fe by Zoink Games. Söderlund stressed that they want to provide security to independent developers taking risks, creating inspiring and unique new IP. EA Originals will seek out promising independent games and developers and work with them to provide funding, marketing, and distribution. “We are committed to working with small developers, finding these great new games, and giving all of you a chance to discover them.” And with this, EA announced their new initiative to fund and publish indie games, EA Originals. “We know that there are more out there, more studios like Coldwood, more games like Unravel,” Patrick Söderlund said.

Titanfall 2 is coming to PS4, Xbox One, and PC on Oct. Titanfall 2 will likely be judged on its staying power, and the move to add a single player mode was likely wise. Hopefully Respawn has expanded upon the original to offer more to players to stick around and form a community. However, it was quickly forgotten about by the general gaming community. The original garnered great critical praise upon release for its gameplay innovations in movement and multiplayer. It will be interesting to see how Titanfall 2 is received.
This seems a direct response to Titanfall’s criticism over a lack of single player.
In the story, a rookie pilot gets trapped behind enemy lines and teams up with a veteran Titan. It seems that Titans have some sort of AI running, making them more than mere vehicles. The single player will focus on the bond between pilot and Titan. In addition, Respawn also confirmed what had been leaked that morning, Titanfall 2 will have a single player story mode.
