(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); EA will release a "very exciting" as-yet unannounced FPS before the end of 2011, according to CEO John Riccitiello.

The EA boss made the announcement while answering a question from an investor regarding the future of the Medal of Honor franchise during an earnings call today.

"The intention for us is to have strong FPS entries each year," he explained.

"I don't want to give away the thunder from our call but for quite a long time now I've been saying it's our long term goal to take back the first person shooter category leadership.

"We've made strong progress in calendar '10 over calendar '09. This year, with the tail-end of Battlefield: Bad Company 2 still doing well and Medal of Honor still doing well... with Crysis and Bulletstorm we're clearly going to make more progress towards 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."

Of course, he could be referring to Battlefield 3, widely expected to launch this year – though that was officially announced in August last year and has been talked-up by Riccitiello since.

Failing that, we're left with either a second bite of the cherry from the new look Medal of Honor series or a brand new franchise. Place your bets.

So what you think they will release, share your opinions.

Please not be Battlefield 3, so we get Battlefield 3 and maybe that new awesome FPS that Infinty wards head was going to make with that respawn or something (didnt they say something about that)

and then we can finally piss off COD and their probably weak attempt at MW3!

I LOVE FPS

Edit: Or maybe even BFBC3 <3 <3 <3

Yeah,BC3 would be AWESOME

Rumours may hint at Modern Warfare 3 if the ex-heads of IW get contractual rights of the MW brand.

I already updated my post :rolleyes:

Activision own the Call of Duty franchise, but may not keep the Modern Warfare brand due to a lawsuit. We'll see the outcome after the trial in May.

it wont be RE entertainment game thats not till 2012, because they carnt plan to make a game till the court case in may, but when RE make a game it will own, imagine COD4 with no lag and lots of new features.
