EA Outlines 2010-2011 Schedule
Written Monday, February 08, 2010 By Alan Pettit
View author's profile

In their latest Earnings Report, EA has set a tentative outline for their 2011 fiscal gaming schedule, which runs from what we would normally consider the second quarter of 2010 to the first quarter of 2011. Many unannounced games are included, though granted, these do not specify which consoles the games may be coming to. I've asterisked the ones that may be questionable for a 360 release with a few extra notes down at the bottom. Remember, these are fiscal quarters. I've included only the games here that have been confirmed for "console" release, and listed the actual months to help clarify their release windows. Check out the link in the first sentence for the full report.

Quarter 1 (April, May, June 2010)

  • Skate 3
  • FIFA World Cup 2010
  • Tiger Woods PGA Tour 11

Quarter 2 (July, August, September 2010)

  • Medal of Honor
  • NCAA Football 11
  • Madden NFL 11
  • FIFA 11
  • NHL 11
  • TBA "Monopoly" title
  • TBA "MySims" title*

Quarter 3 (October, November, December 2010)

  • Crysis 2
  • TBA "Need for Speed" title
  • TBA "DTC" title*
  • NBA Jam*
  • NBA Live 11
  • EA Sports MMA
  • EA Sports "Active" title*
  • EA Sports "Active" title*
  • Hasbro Family Game Night title
  • TBA Harry Potter title
  • The Sims 3*

Quarter 4 (January, February, March 2011)

  • Dead Space 2
  • TBA "Dragon Age" title
  • TBA "Epic Shooter" title
  • TBA "Need for Speed" title
  • TBA "Action" title
  • TBA "Hasbro" title
  • TBA "Spore" title*


Whew, lots of info there. A few notes and conjectures, if I may:

  • All sports titles will be returning, no shocker there.
  • Two different Sims games confirmed for consoles? Could be Wii only.
  • 2 Need for Speed games within six months? Overkill + dying series = ouch.
  • DTC? Not sure what that stands for, to be honest.
  • XBLA remake of NBA Jam? Let's hope!
  • Why is "EA Sports Active title" listed twice, and what will they be? Sounds like Wii games to me. (Edit: Well, at least one of them are for the 360, according to... us. See, we do so much news here, even I don't catch it all!)
  • Finally new Habsro Family Game Night titles are in the works, nice to see support for that system.
  • Harry Potter is obviously just the next movie tie-in.
  • Dragon Age sequel!!!
  • "Epic Shooter" could be the co-developed title with their People Can Fly studio, rumored to be called Bulletstorm.
  • Spore on consoles? Heard that before...
So, take all of that as you will. Some great unannounced announcements in there. Don't hold your breath on all of them, and of course we'll bring you any "official" announcements as they come.

EA Sports Active probably refers to the 360+natal version of the Wii's Active title that they mentioned would be coming.

Interesting on the Dragon age listing

Also interesting to see no mention of Rock Band on the list, since EA is the producer for Rock Band. Considering that Harmonix has hinted at several RB titles for 2010, that one is oddly missing.

Totally awesome, Dead Space sequel.........

Looking like a good quarter....... 2010-2011 here we come.

they did 2 NFS last year. Shift for 360, PS3 and OC. Then there was Nitro for DS and Wii.

And i doubt because NBA Jam is a Wii retail game, that it will not be on XBLA. So don't get your hopes up

A Dragon Age sequel sounds good at first, but for it to still be a massive, great RPG, how will it be possible to push it out in a year?
(That's not even thinking of Awakenings coming out too).

I love Dragon Age, but I'm a little dubious about that tbh.

WHY are they releasing 2 more Need for Speed games? Someone tell me what interest anyone has in those anymore? I bet they'll just incorporate some of the new racing game features that are coming out in games like Blur and Split/Second and make them totally retarded. Oh and add ridiculously pointless/unobtainable achievements, can't forget those in an EA game.

Medal Of Honor in July, August, or September is great news, sooner than I expected, since DICE is doing the MP its a must buy. I'm a huge Criterion fan and hope the NFS title they are developing is one of those that are releasing this year. Also getting Skate 3, TW PGA11, Dead Space 2, and Crysis 2.

I wonder if that Dragon Age title is another expansion or a sequel, kind of early for a sequel imo.

Only good one is NBA Jam. I wouldn't buy any other EA game (other than the Road Rash series).

I'd have to admit, they made some really good classic titles for the Sega Genesis and Super Nintendo (SNES).

If this isnt just for 360 then one of those NFS titles is probably NFS World. Which is a Need For Speed MOOR(Massive Open Online Racer. Meaning that its going to be Test Drive Unlimited mixed with NFS. And Ive heard that its going to be PC only. And I think the other one the the NFS that going to be co-produced by the studio that made Burnout.

None of those are exciting me much. Not even dead space 2 after they announced it will be action over horror. Crysis...maybe. The original was great, but EA have been disappointing. Bring back the horror games that are NOT for kids and wimps.

So they plan to release a lot then, lol. Fairly eager to see the new MoH, as its one of the first FPS's i ever got into, on the PS1 no less, would be good to see it regain some of its former glory. Def getting Skate 3, and have high hopes for Dead Space 2 aswell.

EA 2010-2011 Schedule:

Shut down servers for all games made before 2010...and then shut down those made in 2010.

NBA Live 11 Achievement: Be online with 10,000 People

Rock Band isn't mentioned because they are an EA partner not an actual EA company. While they publish them its not surprising that they wouldn't be talking it up. Leave that to Harmonix.

With the Need for Speed games one of them is more than likely the Criterion one and the other is probably for the Wii.

skate 3, fifa 11, MMA are must buys for me, it'll be interesting to see if the sims comes to xbox 360/ps3, cuz me and my m8 were talking about the sims about 2 days ago and I realized that eventually EA would put it out on xbox because they could sell furniture packs etc as DLC.

Meaning more $$ for EA, which we all know they "like" lol

Will be buying the Dragon Age sequal day one, Bioware's 3rd best series after KotOR and Mass Effect

Im wondering about the Harry Potter one though, it says Q3 but the movie won't be out till Summer next year, maybe they are trying something new with it, long shot but who knows, then again maybe they'll do what they did with HBP finish it a year before the film comes out and delay it but not use any of the remaining time to make the game better, well at least Lego Harry Potter will be good.

That's what I'm saying, #55. It's not that all sequels are bad, (although they usually are), it's that if that's ALL you do, then what does that make you? Certainly not innovative, willing to take a step forward, willing to make a memorable game; but does make you appear stupid, money-hungry, and least of all caring about the fans. Once you start making sequels of games like this, you know you've got people hooked and can do whatever with the direction of the games.

Bah, that's just my stupid rant though.

yes DTC is digital trading card.

The Active title most likely is something for the project natal since it comes out around the same time.

so far all the sims games have been Nintendo only stuff. They must have some kind of deal with them.

http://www.joystiq.com/2010/02/08/ea-rock-band-deal-with-viacom-only-through-fiscal-2010/

long story short, EA may not have publishing rights to Rock Band after March 31
