Release date: February 16, 2018

Even gaming giant Electronic Arts is getting into the "indie" games field this year. Launching the publisher's new EA Originals brand is this Nordic puzzle-action-adventure title developed by Zoink Games (Stick It to the Man!).

Fe, arriving in February for all three current consoles plus PC, features cute, stylized graphics and an emphasis on nature. The wordless, somewhat abstract and relatively free-form and unguided tale asks you to play as a woodland fox-like creature who unites with other inhabitants of the forest to repel attacks by the evil Silent Ones. (You team up by singing to each other, by the way, and you'll have to learn to interpret what various sounds and songs mean.) Early previews prompted comparisons to Journey, which probably isn't a bad thing.
