Speaking in an analysts' call following releasing EA's results for Q3 2010, CEO John Riccitiello has apparently announced a new FPS from EA that will " take back the first-person shooter category leadership."He also announced that EA's current stable of military games are ticking over nicely thanks very much.
Riccitiello told Colin Sebastian of Lazard Capital Markets LLC, "In terms of
Medal of Honor, the intention for us at least is to have strong FPS entries each year. I don't want to give away the thunder from our call but for quite a long time now, I've been saying that it's our long-term goal to take back the first-person shooter category leadership.
"We made strong progress in calendar '10 over calendar '09. This year, with the trail end of
Battlefield Bad Company 2 still doing well,
Medal of Honor doing well,
Crysis and
Bulletstorm, we're clearly going to make more progress on our goal..."
And then he drops the bomb, as it were, "...and that's before we get to what I think is going to be a very exciting entry later in the year that we're not yet announcing."
Sounds to us like he just announced it though.
