Electronic Arts has just signed a deal to publish an all-new IP from Epic Games, the creators of the Gears of War and Unreal series. The new IP is currently being developed by Epic’s People Can Fly studio in Poland, the team behind Painkiller and the Gears of War PC port.

These kind words came from Epic Games Vice President Mark Rein.

“Epic is excited to work with EA Partners to launch our next big IP on the global stage. EA Partners gives independent developers like Epic the muscle of a global publisher like EA, along with the focus and flexibility of a smaller team committed to working with our individual needs.”

Frank Gibeau, President of the EA Games Label, returned the favor by saying:

“Epic brings first class talent and technology to the development of this new title. We are very proud to have Epic join the growing roster of EA Partners.”
