EA's Play4Free Series Now Available Via Aeria Games Portal

Electronic Arts has signed a distribution agreement with free-to-play online games portal Aeria Games, that will see the company bringing its Play4Free series of titles to the portal. This agreement will see a number of EA's free-to-play titles hitting Aeria's multi-million person community, starting with Battlefield Heroes which is now already available. Other EA Play4Free titles, such as Need for Speed World and Dragon Age Journeys, are due to follow. Lan Hoang, chief executive officer for Aeria Games, explained, "We are thrilled to add EA titles to our portfolio of games, and what better game to launch with to celebrate this partnership than Battlefield Heroes." Sean Decker, VP of EA's Play4Free, added, "Distribution of Battlefield Heroes on Aeria Games' network is a natural next step as we expand the Play4Free brand." "Aeria Games is a frontrunner in the free-to-play games business and our titles will benefit tremendously as they reach the ever-growing global market." EA's Play4Free series is also distributed via portal operator Bigpoint, which began offering Play4Free titles back in February.
