Electronic Arts and Silver Rain Games revealed today that they have signed a new development deal between the two. The announcement didn't go into specifics, all we really know is that EA Games will provide funding to Silver Rain's unannounced IP, as well as "guidance and support in the team's journey to bring a fresh perspective to games and to the industry". The deal will make them a part of the EA Originals program as well, but to what extent is unknown. Silver Rain is a U.K.-based studio co-founded in December 2019 by Abubakar Salim, best known for his role on HBO's hit show Raised by Wolves, alongside Melissa Phillips, who will lead as Head of Studio.
