If you haven’t heard the news, EA Seoul has been rebranded with the much catchier name, “Spearhead - An EA Company.” Of course, we at Spearhead Games are flattered and honored that EA likes our name so much that they decided to try it on for themselves.
So for the sake of avoiding confusion, here’s a quick compare and contrast between us, Spearhead Games, and them, Spearhead.
How Spearhead Games is similar to Spearhead:
- We make video games (obviously).
- “Continuous innovation” is a pillar of both companies.
- We are passionate about pushing online sports gaming forward (with our Project Cyber, and their FIFA Online 3).
How Spearhead Games is different from Spearhead:
- Spearhead Games is NOT an EA studio; we are an independent studio of 14 people.
- Spearhead Games is located in the hockey-worshipping town of Montreal, Canada, not the horse-riding dance-district of Gangnam in Seoul, South Korea.
- Spearhead Games is pushing game development forward via a communal development process. Our latest project, Project Cyber, is in pre-alpha and is free for anyone to play by registering at www.spearheadgames.ca/cyber. Players can lend their voice and shape the game through our daily 7:00 pm ET Twitch live-stream, Steam forum, or even by commenting directly in our public design documents.
So what’s next for Spearhead Games? On the game front, the Steam Early Access build of Project Cyber launches on August 14th, with a ton of new features including new playable champions, a robust character-progression system, and most importantly, redesigned gameplay with a better focus on cooperative play.
Also, we are looking forward to years of answering players’ emails about FIFA Online 3 and fielding online job requests for our brethren from across the globe. Apologies ahead of time to Spearhead for all the Steam key request emails and Tiny Brains fan art. We can send you guys locally-brewed beers if you want to send us some makgeolli!
