Robert Jordan may have passed on, but his fantasy classic Wheel of Time will live on in games and movies. And now it has a distributor.
Eurogamer is reporting that Electronic Arts has signed on to distribute games based on the Wheel of Time , which is currently being adapted into a series of games by Red Eagle Entertainment. The new studio has big plans for the property, even promising a massively multiplayer game based on the project.
They've got big guns in charge of distribution now though. And with films on their way as well, who knows where this could end up going.
