It is a darker project that bases its gameplay on action and a casual aesthetic but with a gloomy setting.
It is time for announcements. Electronic Arts unveiled during EA Play Live 2020, a digital event that replaces its traditional conference, the new production of Zoink Games, the creators of the sympathetic Faith. It is Lost in Random, a title that they have defined as another product dark and that will come out in 2021. The announcement has accompanied it with its first trailer, which you can see on these lines. In this action-packed title with light-hearted aesthetics, the die will be vitally important.
“At Zoink we are always guided by a love of rich visual narrative and the strange worlds that people can escape to,” said Klaus Lyngeled, creative director of Lost in Random and CEO of the studio. “The rarer, the better,” he added. Olov Redmalm, game director, has commented that his next game is going to be “something darker”, a gothic fairy tale. It all started with conceptual drawings that represented, in a way, a kind of twisted dream.
History puts us in the shoes of a girl. After a terrible event, she heads to the worlds of Random, but luckily, she won’t be alone. At his side, he will have a very special companion, capable of changing things … a dice with legs.

EA Originals, the indies of Electronic Arts
For a few years, the North American company finances and publishes smaller scale video games. Under the EA Originals label, he has edited products such as A Way Out, Sea of Solitude and the two installments of Unravel. They will continue to advance along the same path with new projects, which will be combined with their own large productions, which have also had their place in this event.
There is no annual Electronic Arts conference without the various EA Sports products. Not surprisingly, its devastating commercial success guarantees that they dedicate time to titles like FIFA 21 or NFL Madden 2021. Still, other sports franchises have remained in the fridge, as is the case with NBA Live. The studio works hard to polish the different aspects of production with the intention of going to market when the formula works properly. We must not forget that they have NBA 2K in front of them, a colossus that each year manages to improve its gameplay.
Beyond sports, EA’s internal teams develop all kinds of intellectual properties. From own sagas like The Sims or Battlefield to the official Star Wars games. After the success of Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order, a game focused on history, EA Motive will publish Star Wars: Squadrons, which will bet on ship battles. Whether on the side of the old Galactic Empire or on the side of the New Republic, 5-on-5 squads will fight for hegemony in the galaxy.
