EA 'Very Exciting' FPS Reveal This Year

By Mark


John Riccitiello (EA CEO) spoke out at EA's third quarter company conference call last night and said that the publisher had a 'very exciting' FPS title in the pipeline.


According to Seeking Alpha Riccitiello said:
"... The intention for us at least is to have strong FPS entries each year,". "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."
He then went on to talk about EA's previous progress and the new title in question:
"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 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."
It's hard not to think of Respawn the new studio headed by former Infinity Ward heads Jason West and Vince Zampella that will be creating a new title for EA although a release this year would be incredibly unlikely. What about you folks? What'll it be?
