Twinblade★ 4,213 Posted February 20, 2019 Share Posted February 20, 2019 (edited) Quote Former EA executive vice president of worldwide studios Patrick Soderlund has announced his indie studio, titled Embark, is beginning development on its first game. In a blog post, Soderlund detailed the type of game Embark is working on. "Lots about this first game of ours will change and evolve as we progress," Soderlund wrote. "With that caveat out of the way, I can tell you that it’s a cooperative free-to-play action game set in a distant future, about overcoming seemingly impossible odds by working together." Embark is using Epic's Unreal Engine to develop the game. No Caption Provided Soderlund left EA in August 2018, but not before playing a key role in the company's development of the Battlefield and Star Wars Battlefront franchises, including Battlefield V and Battlefront II. "From his early vision for Frostbite, which has now become a cornerstone for our technology strategy, to being a champion for Players First experiences, Patrick has always ensured we put creative at the center of everything we do," EA CEO Andrew Wilson said when announcing Soderlund's departure. After Soderlund's departure, there was an internal shakeup within EA, and the company announced a renewed focus for how players consumed its games. "We're deepening our focus on user experience, and welcoming Jason Wozencroft to our studios to lead a strong, unified UX approach for our games and services," Wilson said. "And with new games and content playing a vital role in our networked future, the EA Originals and EA Partners teams led by Rob Letts will join our Strategic Growth group." https://www.gamespot.com/articles/former-battlefield-boss-announces-new-studio-tease/1100-6465116/ Edited February 20, 2019 by Twinblade Link to post Share on other sites

Remij 5,049 Posted February 20, 2019 Share Posted February 20, 2019 You didn't link to the quick test demo they made in UE4 to demonstrate some environments they can make.. (Took 3 people 3 weeks to make.. still very early) Pretty impressive actually. Next gen games brehs.. Link to post Share on other sites

DynamiteCop 2,162 Posted February 21, 2019 Share Posted February 21, 2019 That video was probably rendered at 1 FPS. Link to post Share on other sites

What you're seeing there is something that's actually developed on high end PCs with a next gen target in mind. Also, Repi who was a lead engine developer for Frostbite, and literally one of the best people in the field, is working at Embark. Their game will stun graphically.. no doubt.
