“When we first started this project, we knew we wanted to
create a fairytale that was a bit darker than what we’ve made in the past; we
ended up drawing these different characters and concepts, but it wasn’t until
this painting of a girl and her dice appeared that we knew there was something
more to explore,” said Olov Redmalm, Creative Director and Lead Writer for Lost
in Random, during the EA Originals Spotlight at EA Play Live 2021. “A tricky
aspect we had to deal with was determining what the gameplay would be like - we
wanted the theme and gameplay to revolve around the dice, but had to consider
what was too random and what was just random enough. We feel it’s all grown
very naturally out of that central idea.”
Ruled by a wicked Queen, the Kingdom of Random is divided
into six shadowy realms where life is dictated by a cursed black dice.
Journeying as Even, players will walk the land’s mysterious cobbled streets,
meet its unpredictable residents and take on courageous quests in order to save
her sister, Odd, from Her Majesty’s clutches. Along the way, they’ll team up
with Dicey, a small and strange living dice, and together uncover an age-old
tale with a surprisingly modern message not typically explored in gaming:
Randomness in the world isn’t something to be feared or controlled, but a power
that can be harnessed by embracing it and learning to roll with its punches.
Random rules all in the Kingdom of Random, and this
principle is deeply embedded in Lost in Random ’s innovative gameplay. Coins
are collected that enable Even to learn new attacks, abilities and more - all
of which come in handy during unique tactical combat. Players will use Even’s
slingshot to attack deadly foes and knock off energy cubes that power Dicey.
Once charged, they can roll Dicey to freeze time itself and unleash his
powerful magic. Players will need to adapt their battle strategy on the fly
within evolving board game arenas in order to defy a cursed fate and truly
harness the power of randomness.
Starting today, Lost in Random is available for pre-order on
select platforms, and will be available September 10, 2021 for the Nintendo
Switch, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S and PC on
Origin and Steam.
