Conference calls covering quarterly financial results may sound like dreary ordeals, but they can often be the venues for exciting game announcements. This paradoxical truism was proven once again by Electronic Arts today, where they revealed Dead Space 2 (http://techtalkboards.com/do/gameOverview?cId=3172370), a Dragon Age: Origins (http://techtalkboards.com/do/gameOverview?cId=2019479) sequel, and a new shooter from Epic Games (probably the previously leaked Bulletstorm (http://techtalkboards.com/do/gameOverview?cId=3172935)) are all on tap for release between January and March, 2011.
Unfortunately, what you won't find in financial reports are any exciting details. The games are merely listed as key titles to watch for in the fourth quarter of the 2010/2011 fiscal year, with nothing else revealed about them. But regarding the Dragon Age follow-up, note that BioWare has previously stated they intend to support Dragon Age: Origins with DLC for 18-24 months after its release. So if they stick by that plan, it's conceivable new DLC would be released right up toward the release of this new title.
As for the EA-published Epic shooter, it's more than likely Bulletstorm, a title previously trademarked (http://techtalkboards.com/do/newsStory?cId=3177491) by Epic-owned People Can Fly (who previously made the Painkiller (http://techtalkboards.com/do/gameOverview?cId=2006923) series).http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/Bm6JTFnPiR_0z5kb0VUoz2VOr9o/0/di (http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/Bm6JTFnPiR_0z5kb0VUoz2VOr9o/0/da)
