Electronic Arts reveals the first trailer forFe, which is one of many indie games the company hopes to produce as EA Originals following the success of Unravel.
After the success ofUnravel(which Game Rant loved), EA is attempting to put more focus on supporting indie studios with the EA Originals initiative. The indie friendly branch of EA was announcedon stage at EA Playand to kick things off, the company brought out a developer to share some details about one of the initiatives first projects.
The creator ofFe, an indie platformer about our relationship with nature, seemed humbled and nervous to be on the stage at EA’s pre-E3 2016presentation. Regardless, he described a game that sounds very beautiful and interesting.Fetakes place in a forest and may remind some gamers ofOri and the Blind Forest. UnlikeOri,Feis all about the sounds of nature. Every creature and object in the forest has a unique sound and the game requires players to become one with the sounds of the forest to progress through the world.
After a brief description of the world, the creator let a short gameplay trailer do the rest of the talking…

The Swedish studio, Zoink, seems to be putting together a very cool project withFe. The cute protagonist is enough to get anyone interested and the conflict with the mysterious Silent Ones seems like it will introduce some interesting challenges that require stealth and cunning to solve.
If the subsequent projects coming out of the EA Originals initiative looks as promising asFe, then it seems like we’re in fora renaissance of great indie titles. It seems unlikely that every project will bethe same kind of emotional home run thatUnravelwas, but bringing more indies to life is always a good thing.
What do you think ofFe? Will you be purchasing the indie title when it is released? Let us know in the comments.
Fedoes not have an official release date or confirmed list of platforms at this time.
