EA set to release big names in fiscal 2011

According to EA CEO John Riccitiello, the megapublisher is preparing an arsenal of high-profile releases to bolster the company's fiscal 2011.

 

Releasing anywhere from April 1, 2010 to March 30, 2011 is a new Medal of Honor, Need For Speed, Sims on consoles, FIFA, Madden, Dead Space 2, a new MMA game, among many others.

 

The upcoming Need For Speed title was confirmed in mid-2009 to be in development at Criterion Games, the studio responsible for the Burnout series and the action game Black.

 

Dead Space 2 is set on a space station called Sprawl which is inhabited by Necromorphs. Players will have more customization and upgrades as they watch the Necromorph infection develop.

 

On the sports front, FIFA in a World Cup year is good for EA's bottom line, said Riccitiello, and that there will a new take on Madden this year.
