Electronics Arts today confirmed that Battlefield: Bad Company 2 and Battlefield 1943 are in development for PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, and PC.
Making a return back to the war-ravaged era of WWII, the Frontbite-powered Battlefield 1943 is a multiplayer-only affair, offering 24 player battlefronts over three tropical locations, including Wake Island, Guadalcanal and Iwo Jima. The title will hit PlayStation Network and Xbox Live Arcade this summer. No mention of a retail release was made, presumably indicating that 1943 will be sold exclusively as a digital title, at least on consoles.
EA also noted that Battlefield: 1943 will be playable at this year's Comic Con event, which kicks off on February 6, in booth #1441.
Bad Company 2, on the other hand, is a full fledged retail title. Due out this winter, players once again assume the role of B company through snowy mountaintops, dense jungles and dusty villages. Total destruction is the name of the game, says EA.
