Starbreeze Studios Teams up With EA Partners to Reinvent a Classic EA Franchise is the press release announcing development of a game by Starbreeze Studios codenamed Project RedLime for PC, Xbox 360, and PlayStation 3. As the title of the press release states, this is a reinvention of "one of EA’s most acclaimed classic franchises," though which franchise is involved is not being revealed at this time (though it is possible this is connected with a quote on GameDaily from EA CEO John Riccitiello saying: "We think about [our old] franchises a lot. Road Rash is one that keeps coming up in brainstorming sessions."). Word is:

“EA Partners is thrilled to hand over the keys to one of EA’s most acclaimed franchises to Starbreeze Studios,” said David DeMartini, vice president and general manager of EA Partners. “Starbreeze’s pedigree is undisputed and we could not be happier to welcome them to the EA Partners family. The team is creating an incredibly innovative take on a classic property and EA Partners is poised to deliver a blockbuster launch on the global stage.”

“EA Partners gives independent developers like Starbreeze access to EA’s unrivaled global publishing infrastructure, letting us focus our energy on what we do best – making incredible games,” said Johan Kristiansson, CEO of Starbreeze Studios. “We’re already deep in development on Project RedLime and the team at EA is giving us the time we need to perfect our vision. We’re excited to bring a new perspective and gameplay innovation to this beloved fiction.”
