A Way Out is an action-adventure game developed by Hazelight Studios and published by Electronic Arts under their indie-friendly EA Originals program. The game was directed by Josef Fares, one of the authors of the wonderful
Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons. The game focuses on telling the story of prisoners Leo and Vincent and their ambitious plan to escape fast and start a new life completely free.
Hazelight Studios has announced that their first project has sold over 1 million copies, in just over two weeks. Just yesterday, we reported that another indie (it's a bit of a reach considering that the game was released by a corporation like Electronic Arts),
Shovel Knight: Treasure Trove has also managed to reach the two million milestone, but it took the smaller in scale and budget game over 18 months.
The game's director, Josef Fares has also noticed that selling one million copies means that at least two million players experienced
A Way Out as the game is available only in the split-screen co-op mode that requires two gamers to play the game simultaneously. We would like to congratulate the Hazelight Studios crew, Josef Fares and everybody involved as
A Way Out deserves its praise and success.
From the creators of Brothers - A Tale of Two Sons comes A Way Out, an exclusively co-op adventure where you play the role of one of two prisoners making their daring escape from prison. What begins as a thrilling breakout quickly turns into an unpredictable, emotional adventure unlike anything seen or played before.
A Way Out is currently available PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC!
