EA LA Developing New Frostbite 2 Engine Shooter

35
Richard Walker

According to a new job listing posted on EA.com, the company is looking for a senior multiplayer designer for an unannounced third-person shooter "with a strong multiplayer focus". What's more, it'll utilise the Frostbite 2 Engine, which is also being used for Battlefield 3.

EA LA's last project was Medal of Honor, so whether it's another instalment in that particular series is unknown, but seems unlikely given that it's a third-person shooter EA is recruiting for.

It's possible that EA LA might be getting to work on a new shooter IP rather than a sequel to an existing franchise, but no doubt there'll be an official announcement of some description in the near future. So, you know the score... Watch this space and all that.

  • Medal of honour 2 please.
  • Nice to hear that they are not just resting on their existing IPs. Many companies rely on that strategy *cough* Activision *cough cough*.
  • Inception: The Game
  • 3rd person shooter heh? Color me interested.
  • Hmmm I'm listening......
  • battlefield3 vietnam!
  • Army of Two 3?
  • i wonder what respawn are doing.
  • a new arcade download game? like that 1943??
  • With the Frostbite 2.0 engine and a game that is focused on multiplayer, it should be epic!!!
  • :D Frostbite FTW
  • @3 Agreed.
  • Anyone want to take a guess it might be the ex Infinity Ward employeer's first EA game?
  • @#2 So what? As long as they're making millions on each release all the powert to them. OT: Medal of Gears LOL
  • I agree with #7 its definately army of two 3. Strong multiplayer was similar announcement to the 1st & its 3rd person......id say 90% chance. Medal of honour2 was already announced, they said after the 1st million copies sold
  • @13 Last time I checked, Respawn Entertainment and EA LA (Danger Close Games) were not the same studio. Plus, third person is not first person.
  • i hope its something like rainbow 6 vegas 2!
  • I didnt even think of ARMY OF TWO 3 good guess guys
  • @ 1 No...just no Hmm, 3rd person shooter with Frostbite Engine? Sounds kickass
  • I have a feeling it might be something like battlefield:1943 again didn't that use the first frostbite engine?
  • Army of Two Two Three Two
  • Guys, this IS a Mercenaries game. Mark my words.
  • AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
  • A new Army of Two with fully destructible environments, please.
  • @ 22. I would jizz. My bet is another shooter where Americans fight Russians, and of course the Americans are good guys and Russians bad. Seems to be the most popular scenario out there.
  • why did #7 get -4 for his Army of 2 three post? people mad they didn't think of it first? I'd love another installment, 40th day was amazing.
  • @17 That game already exists and its a FPS by Ubisoft
  • Food for thought... EA is currently partnered with LucasArts/Bioware to release SW: The Old Republic, perhaps they are preparing Star Wars: Battlefront 3? Probably not, but a nerd can dream.
  • eh i dont care much for the THIRD-person aspect of this, but it does make me very excited that something big is on the way.
  • "with a strong multiplayer focus" I'm out...
  • What I'd like to see is a high quality mech war game using the destructible engine of frostbite 2.
  • Mass Effect 4 ;-)
  • @3 YES! That could work so well, if properly developed...
  • @32 : Will there really be other Mass Effect games after the third? I thought it was a trilogy...
  • EA and frostbite engine 2 = Medal of Honor 2 :D
