Electronic Arts has announced that games from three major publishers — THQ, Warner Brothers and Capcom — will soon be made available via EA’s Origin service. This is the first major step toward Origin becoming a full-fledged digital distribution marketplace.
Batman: Arkham City and Saints Row: The Third have been confirmed for Origin releases, and EA makes it quite clear that it has plans to include more publishers in future.
“Since launch, we’ve had overwhelming support from both publishers and developers across the gaming industry, recognizing Origin as an opportunity to deliver more of their great content straight to consumers across the globe,” said Origin senior VP David DeMartini. “We’re excited to welcome Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment, THQ and Capcom as the first publishers to offer their games via Origin.”
So … when are we getting Call of Duty up this grill?
