EA: Medal of Honor being revitalized, details 'in the months ahead'
After relaying the company's success in revitalizing the long-abused
Need for Speed franchise with this year's well-received
Need for Speed: Shift during this afternoon's
Q2 conference call, EA Games label president Frank Gibeau revealed, "In the months ahead, you'll hear more about our plans to revitalize core IP, including the
Medal of Honor franchise."
The long-established war series – whose
Allied Assault team led to the creation of Infinity Ward and the now dominant
Call of Duty series at competitor Activision – has been absent since 2007's triple showing of the poorly received
Medal of Honor: Airborne, the poorly received
Medal of Honor: Hereos 2, and the even more poorly received
Medal of Honor: Vanguard. Yeah, a reboot seems in order.
