As we reported back in November last year, Robert Jordan's series of epic fantasy novels, The Wheel of Time, will be used as a setting for future games. Red Eagle Games will be creating a series of titles to be co-launched along with the Wheel of Time movies. They've decided to enrich the MMOG genre and the all-powerful EA already signed a worldwide distribution deal for these upcoming games.

Right, they apparently don't have much faith in Star Wars: The Old Republic or the recently released Warhammer Online. So, this is merely a backup plan, obviously ;-)

"Red Eagle Games will develop and publish a line of stand-alone games on all major videogame platforms, including consoles, personal computers, handheld systems and wireless devices. The games will be distributed by EA. In addition, Red Eagle will launch and operate a massively multiplayer online role-playing game that encompasses the themes, characters and world of The Wheel of Time, which will be distributed at retail by EA."
