EA Reveals New Need For Speed And Plants Vs. Zombies Games Coming This Fall
Although we still don’t have an exact launch date for the upcoming Need for Speed and Plants vs. Zombies games, EA has revealed a release window for both titles. In the company’s latest financial report, EA announces both games are expected to be released this year sometime between October and December.
In the report, EA lists new games for both Need for Speed and Plants vs. Zombies releasing during the same quarter as Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order, currently scheduled to launch on November 15 for Xbox One, PS4, and PC. The Need for Speed and Plants vs. Zombies releases are listed as both console and PC games, so they too are probably launching on Xbox One, PS4, and PC.
Little has been announced about these new Need for Speed and Plants vs. Zombies games. During a previous company financial report, EA COO and CFO Blake Jorgensen announced both games. “Looking forward, we’re delighted to launch Anthem, our new IP, to grow Apex Legends and related Titanfall experiences, to deliver new Plants vs. Zombies and Need for Speed titles, and to add Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order to our sports titles in the fall,” Jorgensen said.
In a subsequent earnings call, EA confirmed the Plants vs. Zombies game would be a shooter. Though this is in no way a confirmation, this detail implies the upcoming game is another edition to the Plants vs. Zombies: Garden Warfare series. The theory is further supported by a retail listing leaking the existence of Plants vs. Zombies: Garden Warfare 3. However, EA hasn’t confirmed the leak’s authenticity.
The latest financial report also mentions Sea of Solitude, an EA Original indie game that was teased during EA Play 2018, will be releasing on consoles and PC next quarter (sometime between July 1 and September 30). An adventure game, Sea of Solitude has you play as Kay, a young woman lost in a half submerged city filled with red-eyed creatures. Kay herself has begun to change into one of the monsters that populate the city, so she’s searching for a way to become human again.

Scalebound Dev Laments Microsoft Taking ‘Brunt’ of Blame for Cancellation
When Microsoft confirmed Scalebound’s cancellation back in January 2017, fans of the would-be franchise were understandably upset the series wouldn’t see the light of day. But developer PlatinumGames’ studio head noted fans’ ire should be directed not just at Microsoft.
Speaking to Video Games Chronicles, PlatinumGames studio head Atsushi Inaba discussed Scalebound’s cancellation, nothing “both
failed” when it came to the project.
“I think there are areas where we could’ve done better and I’m sure there are areas that Microsoft as a publishing partner wish that they could’ve done better. Because nobody wants a game to be canceled,” Inaba said.
Game of Thrones Actor In Talks To Join Marvel’s Eternals – Report
The MCU news just keeps on coming today with even more Phase 4 goodness. After announcing an official release schedule for all upcoming Marvel movies into 2022, yet another actor is joining the star-studded cast of The Eternals as reported by The Wrap.
Richard Madden, known for playing the late Robb Stark on HBO’s Game of Thrones, is reportedly in talks to join Angelina Jolie and Kumail Nanjiani in Marvel’s new cosmic superhero team. Details surrounding Madden’s potential role are unclear, but it seems likely that he’ll be taking on Ikaris, an immortal with the ability to harness and control cosmic and psionic energy.
Created by Jack Kirby back in the late 1970s, The Eternals are an “evolutionary offshoot” of humanity created by the god-like Celestials when the Earth was new. The experimentation gave the Eternals superpowers such as flight, enhanced durability, and incredible strength as well as functional immortality. Though the Eternals themselves have not been alluded to in the MCU, their progenitors have been with Guardians of the Galaxy featuring “Knowhere,” a city contained within the severed head of a Celestial avatar, and Vormir a planet referred to in Avengers: Endgame as the “center of Celestial existence.”
Similarly, Thanos, the villain of the MCU’s Infinity Saga, is known as a “Deviant” in the comics, an Eternal with a genetic mutation responsible for his purple skin and incredible strength; however, Thanos’ lineage and race was never addressed in the movies.
The Eternals will be directed by Chloe Zhao (Songs My Brothers Taught Me, The Rider) and written by Matthew and Ryan Fripo. It is rumored to focus on the love story of Sersi (Jolie), an Eternal who spends her time immersed in human society, and Ikaris, an Eternal fueled by cosmic energy.
