Major new publishers to join Origin

Warner Bros., THQ and Capcom sign up to offer their titles on EA's new downloadable service

Posted on
Electronic Arts has announced today that Origin, EA’s direct-to-consumer gaming platform, will soon offer some of the top PC game titles from publishers Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment, THQ and Capcom.

Beginning in November, Origin will feature top new releases including Batman: Arkham City, Saints Row: The Third and more, ready for purchase and download. Additional titles from each publisher will be offered on Origin in the coming months.

Since launch, we’ve had overwhelming support from both publishers and developers across the gaming industry, recognizing Origin as an opportunity to deliver more of their great content straight to consumers across the globe,” said David DeMartini, senior vice president of Origin at EA. “We’re excited to welcome Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment, THQ and Capcom as the first publishers to offer their games via Origin.”

Origin claims to have more than six million registered users. New features recently added to Origin include live streaming demos, free-to-play games and a beta cloud storage feature where users can save games and gameplay achievements online and access them from multiple PC gaming systems.

The Origin Download service by Electronic Arts launched earlier this year, and is in direct competition with other digital distributors such as Steam. The service has so far been used only to distribute EA titles such as Battlefield 3, Star Wars: The Old Republic, and Mass Effect 3, reqiring the Origin client be installed in order to play.
