EA's
tentative release schedule for Q4 of its fiscal 2011 (or, as us
normal people call it, January–March 2011) contains more than a few intriguing entries. You already heard about
the new Dragon Age game -- but listed just below that is an untitled "Shooter from Epic TBA." Of course, this can only mean one thing:
Gears of Madden 2012 is within spitting distance of becoming a sweet reality! Wait --
what's that? Oh, right, the listing more likely points to new speculative details about that
possible "Bulletstorm" project from Epic's People Can Fly studio. How ... unofficial.
Also listed under the early 2011 releases is
Dead Space 2, which EA had
previously promised would drop before next March. The excitement level of the remaining games drops off like the deep end of a pool: The list includes (
deep breath) a new
Need For Speed on consoles and PC (in addition to an
apparent Holiday 2010 release), a downloadable "action" game, a new fighting game designated as a "sports" title, a new Hasbro game (more
Family Game Night?), and new installments in the
Sims and
Spore franchises.
