A Way Out creator Josef Fares: ‘If you don’t like it, you can break my legs’

Electronic Arts showed a lot of potential blockbuster games yesterday, but one that showed its originality off was a little indie title from its EA Originals label, dubbed A Way Out. It was a wonderfully creative co-op game about two friends breaking out of a prison.

Josef Fares, the head of Hazelight, a new studio from the creators of indie hit Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons, was so proud of the title as he walked out on stage and described it. I caught up with him in a small group interview and played a small part of the game in a hands-on session. It was hilarious because Fares was so excited about his game, and he wasn’t holding back.
