EA Originals willꦑ fund and publish the first game from Silver Rain Games, the studio set up by Assassin’s Creed actor Abubakar Sal൩im.

The studio, which was set up 𝐆in 2019, is currently at work on its unannounced game, and EA said in a statement that it’ll also be providing “guidance and support in the team’s journey to bring a fresh pers💫pective to games and to the industry.”

While we don’t know what type of game Silver Rain Games is currently working on, the studio has quickly grown, with 20 team members now working for it. Salim, who played Bayek in 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Assassin’s Creed Origins, said: "We couldn’t🍒 be happier to work with the EA Originals tღeam, who are phenomenal partners for us as we begin this journey. Not only does each of them understand our vision to inspire and entertain, but they also welcome this exciting new age of game development."

According to the studio’s site, the developer is working to create experiences “with the intention of welcoming new audiences to the games industry. We value flexibi🐬lity and aim to create a safe space for our team to explore and find their role within the game industry of today.” 

Head of the studio Melissa Phillips also said in a statement: "We have spent the last꧙ year really growing our team and have some exceptionally talen🤪ted people supporting us on putting this game together. I am so excited to see the team grow again and really have the opportunity to showcase the quality of the work they are creating."

EA Originals is EA’s indie-focused arm, which in recent years has published games such as 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Sea of Solitude, 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:A Way Out, and Unravel. You’ll be seeing more of their output soon as well, when the colorful relationship-saver 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:It Takes Two launches on March 26. 

Of course, there’s no date yet on Silver Rain🐻 Games’ first title, but we’re excited to see what the team is workingౠ on.
