Medal of Honor sequel confirmed, currently in development by Danger Close

Executive Producer Greg Goodrich revealed today that EA's Danger Close studio is currently working on the next Medal of Honor game. The 2010 franchise reboot received mixed critical and consumer reactions, but was a commercial success with over five million copies sold worldwide.

In his announcement on EA's official Medal of Honor blog, Goodrich teased, "Since our launch last October, we've studied, listened and absorbed much of your feedback and are very excited to be marching forward on the next title. We can't wait to tell you more about it, so check back often to the website and the fan page on Facebook."

Goodrich went on to reaffirm Danger Close's reverence for "the commitment and sacrifice shown by the men and women of our armed services," and called the next entry "a fun ride for the Medal of Honor franchise."

There's no word yet on whether or not DICE will again be handling the multiplayer portion of the game. For now, at least, the developer seems to be laser-focused on Battlefield 3.

Also, asI don't usually write such bone-dry, straightforward stories, I feel it's my obligation to end this article with a completely tangential statement.
