Electronic Arts sent out a media alert today revealing that it will announce a new game currently in development at its Montreal based studio on March 12. The game in question is set to be shown to press at a privately held event on the 9th, however, an embargo will be in place. That means any information obtained at the event, including interviews and the like, must be held until the 16th.
No further details were provided, so it is anyone's guess at to what this title might be. EA has in the past said it intends to create sequels to its more popular franchises, such as Dead Space and Army of Two. Note however that there is no indication that the title here is a sequel, it could be a entirely new IP for all we know.[blockquote2]Embargoed game presentation at EA Montreal - Demonstration for local media
