A Way Out is part of the EA
Originals program, which provides an elevated platform for
up-and-coming independent game studios and their talented teams to bring
innovative, memorable gaming experiences to players around the world,
with the studio as sole profit beneficiary. As another prime example of
the EA Originals core values, Hazelight is making it easier than ever
before to play a co-op game by offering a "Friends Pass" program
where, for the first time ever, players who purchase the game will be
able to invite a friend to play the full experience of A Way Out with
them for free online.
"We designed A Way Out as a dynamic narrative experience best
played on the couch with a friend and as a co-op only game, I wanted
people to play with their friend without gimmicks or a high cost, so we
came up with the free Friends Pass offer," said Josef Fares, Writer and
Director at Hazelight. "The game is designed so that players will need
to build trust with one another by talking and making decisions together
as they play. Intense moments and more meaningful points in the game
build the relationship between both the characters and the players. On
top of that, A Way Out has no repeated gameplay activities which
creates a truly unique experience unlike anything played before."
A Way Out's compelling split-screen story follows the
relationship between the brash and cocky Leo, and the calm, cool and
in-control Vincent; their distinct personalities changing the way
players will be able to interact with their surroundings beyond the
prison walls. From high-stakes stealth passages, intense brawls and
shootouts, to co-op fishing and mini-games, A Way Out is an
emotional cinematic experience filled with action-packed moments that
are balanced by fun, unique gameplay to be discovered.
A Way Out is rated M for Mature by the ESRB and is available now
for $29.99 on Xbox One, PlayStation 4 and Origin for PC. To find out
