EA Games is aggressively expanding its Origin digital distribution platform. The company announced today that it has signed on 7 more publishers to offer their games for sale and download through the service.
The service is host to over 9.3 million registered users and, as of today, carries 21 different publishers in addition to EA Games. The seven publishers added today are led by Remedy Entertainment, which plans on bringing Alan Wake to Origin. Other publishers include Focus Home Interactive, Iceberg Interactive, Strategy First, Macro Games, Selectsoft and Legendo Entertainment. These publishers join 14 previously announced Origin partners, including Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment, THQ, Capcom, Trion Worlds and Robot Entertainment.
“The momentum that we’ve achieved with Origin since launching in June has been incredible, buoyed by great games and great partners,” said David DeMartini, Senior Vice President of Origin at EA. “Our fast-growing user base demonstrates the interest from gamers across the world in fully-connected, 365-day digital game experiences. We’re committed to evolving and expanding Origin to help players get the absolute most out of their games, and we’re just getting started.”
