Earlier this year, Coldwood Interactive released Unravel, a delightful physics based puzzle platformer that won everyone’s hearts. Back then, we had an exclusive interview with ColdWood, and asked them about their experience working with EA, a publisher usually viewed as the antithesis to the kind of warm creativity that indie games try to imbibe. ColdWood had apparently greatly appreciated their time working with EA– and it seems as though they are putting their money where their mouth is, because in an earnings call, EA Studios Executive Vice President Patrick Söderlund announced that Coldwood Interactive have signed a publishing deal with Electronic Arts for its next game.
“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 is available now on PS4, Xbox One, and PC. hopefully we get to see more of Coldwood’s new game at E3 this year.
