Electronic Arts has announced a new game at its E3 2017 press conference. It’s a prison break game called A Way Out. Players will have to find a way out of the prison that their character is locked up in. One major defining factor of this game is that it’s co-op only. There’s no single player campaign that you can play alone in.
A Way Out has been developed by the same team behind the indie hit game Brothers that was released back in 2013. The split-screen game is due to be released in 2018.
Attendees at the E3 2017 press conference were told by the game’s director Josef Fares that this was intended to be a game which featured characters with unique personalities and goals.
A Way Out is set in a prison. Players can play as either Vincent who is a new inmate or Leo, who has been locked up in the prison for a long time. Players can only play this game in co-op so they can play it online or with a friend in split-screen mode.
The two inmates don’t know each other but their relationship grows as they work together to break out of the prison. Their individual stories will also progress throughout the course of the game.
EA will confirm more information about the title in the future. It has only confirmed so far that the title is due for release at some point next year.
