Ea And Origin Access Get Sea Of Solitude And Mable The Wood This Month

As of January 16th, four new games, including Sea of Solitude and Mable & The Wood, have been added to the Vault in the EA Access program.

The first game on the docket is Sea of Solitude. Available on all platforms, Sea of Solitude was released in 2019 as an indie title billed as tackling growing mental health concerns. Truly a unique game in concept, Sea of Solitude reflects its protagonist’s psychology in a way not many other games do. Its addition to the EA Access and Origin Access library is a noteworthy one.

Next up is Mable & The Wood. Released in the latter half of 2019 as well, Mable & The Wood is an action-adventure title that takes on the familiar Metroidvania feel. Currently, unlike Sea of Solitude, Mable & The Wood is only available through Origin Access Premier, which runs at $14.99 per month or $99.99 per year.

Legrand Legacy: Tale of the Fatebounds is the next game available through Origin Access. A JRPG released in 2018 on PC and in 2019 on consoles, the game was developed by Semisoft and was a bonafide attempt at fostering the classic JRPG experience. Legrand Legacy: Tale of the Fatebounds is available through Origin Access Basic and Origin Access Premier.

The fourth and final game added by Electronic Arts this month is Worms W.M.D. A cartoon-ish strategy game with a penchant for demolitions, Worms W.M.D. was released in 2016 on Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and PC, and was later released on the Nintendo Switch in 2017. Worms W.M.D. is currently available through Origin Access Basic and Origin Access Premier.

These four titles are quite different, but are similar in their scope. For the most part, they are all indie titles and developed by smaller teams. Further, the fact that EA is adding the games to EA Access indicates that it still has interest in indie development.

With many of EA’s big titles already available through EA Access, it makes sense that it is slowly adding its smaller-scale ones. With series like Battlefield and various popular sports series available through EA Access, it might be reasonable to presume that EA will reach toward its more obscure and lower-production titles for future EA Access expansions.
