EA Partners has announced that it has teamed up with The Darkness developer Starbreeze Studios to do ... something. That something is reinventing an unnamed EA classic franchise. But this is not just any franchise; we're talking about one of their "most acclaimed classic franchises." Codenamed internally as "Project RedLime," the title is in production for the PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, and PC. And that's really about all we know, unfortunately.
"EA Partners is thrilled to hand over the keys to one of EA’s most acclaimed franchises to Starbreeze Studios," says mayor of Vagueville and vice president and general manager of EA Partners, David DeMartini. "The team is creating an incredibly innovative take on a classic property and EA Partners is poised to deliver a blockbuster launch on the global stage."
While I'm hoping Starbreeze will be developing next year's Madden or NBA Live, it's more likely to be something a bit more action/kill-things-with-guns oriented. I guess we'll know more when EA and Starbreeze decide to reveal some sort of information about some game sometime in the kind of near future.

another vague press release
Wasn't something brought up earlier this week about Road Rash? Maybe during an interview at GDC? With some guy from EA?
Either way... its Road Rash.
In 1080p.
However, it would feel kinda (read: really) skeezy to hear EA talk about the System Shock license like that. D:
System Shock is being...revived...by the team that did Godfather...take that for what it's worth, but Starbreeze would more than get my vote of confidence if they got the nod to do a System Shock successor.
Although if EA acquire Take Two, they would inherently acquire Ken Levine's services since 2k Boston is under that umbrella...
...Damn't...now I REALLY want EA to finish off that acquisition.
</dreams>
Fucking Road Rash. ;_;
I'm sure Road Rash is fine and all, but if you're hoping for Road Rash over Magic Carpet then I hope you get some sort of illness.
Oh...wait...
Shit...my...pants.
