Zoink Teams Up With EA To Release Lost In Random On Switch Next Year

I wish I had EA’s self-esteem.

Interesting game, though.

This looks like a lovely game. If it runs well on Switch and follows through on it’s interesting premise, I might pick it up.

Looks very Nightmare Before Christmas-inspired. I like it!

I don’t really care about this game but the more EA supports the switch, the closer I am to play Mass Effect Trilogy on my favourite console. Hence, I am very happy that EA brings more and more game !

I always hope that games like these don't get any disadvantage through the name EA being attached to them. They're just great indies, with nothing of EA's philosophy in them.

Actually you could argue that buying these indies shows EA what game experiences (non-microtransaction riddled games that is) you want from them.

Too bad Zoink. Like Fe, it may look great but with the EA logo feces smeared all over it I am not touching that.

Love your other games though.

So, that’s 4 out of 7 already. Won’t get my hopes up for mass effect.

This is the kind of game I just always gravitate towards. Not sure why developers struggle to make the right decision of what games to port to a Nintendo machine.

I watched most of the PS5 launch video and what game stayed with me? Little Devil Inside. That and Death Loop despite me playing few FPS, the narrative and aesthetic of Bethesda games are so strong I push past their usual choice of genre.

Why hasn’t level 5 made a stronger effort with their lineup I would buy most of their stuff. And I don’t think I speak just for me. I feel like there is a large section of Nintendo players who like games that look whimsical, fantastical that take you to worlds that look far removed from our own. Games that aren’t necessary concerned with serving 100% real ness lol.

Will keep my eye on this

I loved Stick It To The Man.
I love that they chose to keep that quirky gloomy spooky goofy setting in their new games. Kinda in between Nightmare Before Christmas and Alice Madness Return.
I love the new graphics. It reminds me of Laika's stop motion work, like Paranorman or Coraline.
Yes, that's a lot of love <3

@meeto_1 Little Devil Inside might still be a possibility on Switch. Back when it was still on Kickstarter, the WiiU was actually the first platform goal even with it's poor install base. Devs likely have some fondness for Nintendo. We just gotta wait for that one year exclusivity period to be done with.

For me this game was arguably the best of the EA event. I love the art style, and it looks fresh and fun, so glad this game is coming to Switch!

@Snesionetty Why? Now they have more money and they can make more ambitious games.
Leave your hate aside, EA is not the devil XD, just look at this sentence taken from the news: like Unravel Two, all the profits of Lost in Random will go back to the developer.
It's not that bad, isn't it?

Oh, this looked interesting. I do wish they would tout the gameplay over the presentation though. I mean, if your di sidekick is just a weapon and the aesthetic has dice symbols everywhere...then it's made more like a film than a game and the 'Random' loses it's appeal in the context of a game.

@the_beaver yes it is. Any brand that is associated with another brand that is seen as positive will shine next to it. If they weren't allowed to put their filthy EA logo on the box they wouldn't care.

I got all other Zoink games so I fully support the developer. Unfortunate that they made 2 shitey decisions in the choice of publisher.

I like the art style and idea, I will most likely buy this game when it releases

Definitely made tuning into the EA show worth it for me. I have enjoyed all of the games I tried by Zoink so far and this one looks so good. The music and style just fits me so well. I can't wait to see more gameplay of this.

Whilst I've seen Stick It to the Man and the other title, I'd say Fe was more notable. I 100% that one on Switch. Good game.

Also, don't know if any Diablo 3 fans are here but I'm pretty certain that the narrator's voice is the same as Necromancer class!

EA overall seems to be showing a glimmer of their old selves this year. For the younger gamers it may be hard to imagine, but there was a time when EA was not raw evil full of monetization schemes. They were a good publisher that published a ton of really great games. They still had a nasty corporate organization,way back to bluffing to Sega they were going to crack the lockout chip and mass produce cartridges.... But they sold good games.

But that was a long time ago, and Trip hasn't been running the day to day for a long time. The money men took over and it became a shameless money machine. They're sitting on a world of great IP they never actually make games with and they devoured entire studios.

This EA Play is the first one in a decade or more where EA actually felt like a games company that actually wants to put out good product. We'll see if it's true, but I'd like to believe EA would like to restore some good faith, particularly with Epic/Tencent/CCP encroaching on their quarterly-focused turf, they may see a renewed reason into becoming a product-focused company again.

The Originals may still be the best part of EA's output, but the fact they didn't do a whole show on sports and Battlefield says a lot. They packed it from top top bottom with games gamers would like. That's a different EA than the one we've seen in many years.

If this is one of those games that EA are bringing then that's a bit disappointing. Bring us some of the classic series you own. This is cool though, I hope they get the help they need and retain the rights to their work.

EA has been on the way up lately. Well, except on their awful effort on Switch.

This game could be an amazing opportunity to show they actually care about the Switch. Day 1 if they do not mess it up on Switch (Or I’ll just play it over Shadow if they do)

I really like Zoink’s attention to detail and craft in their worlds. They have some fantastically creative ideas that are wonderful to behold.

The Laika of Indie videogames.

Here is hoping for, A Way out to be revealed for the switch, that game would be a day one buy for me.

Looks like a really cool, Burton-esque game. I keep an eye on it!
