The first EA Originals title, Fe, is out today worldwide on Xbox One, PlayStation 4, Switch, and PC (Origin) for $19.99.
In Fe you play as the titular character, running and jumping through a Nordic forest of ruins and secrets. The story is told visually, with no dialogue. Instead Fe must the language of the forest, which is depicted through song. Fe can communicate with plants and animals by singing, gaining unique abilities and benefits.
Fe was developed by Zoink Games and published by EA. “In Fe, sounds connect every living thing in the diverse ecosystem,” said Klaus Lyngeled, CEO and Creative Lead at Zoink Games. “The forest holds a multitude of secrets to be uncovered by connecting with the flora and fauna. As a wordless experience, the entire story is up for the players’ own interpretation as they move through the forest at their own pace. Fe is a beautiful, connected world that players will never want to leave.”
