Though Mercenaries 2: World in Flames was one of the eagerly awaited games, it also turned out to be one of the most disappointing. It got average or low reviews from the publications and most gamers too didn’t seem happy with the sandbox title. Still Mercs 2 did well as apparently the game sold nearly two million copies.
But does that mean that fans of the series should expect one more Mercenaries game? Well, they should expect Mercenaries 3! At a post-earnings conference call, John Riccitiello, the chief executive officer of Electronic Arts stated, “There will be a Mercenaries 3 and, if I have anything to do with it, there will be a Mercenaries 10.”
It is not surprising that EA has revealed plans for one more Mercenaries game. Back in July 2007, we had reported that the producer of Mercenaries 2, Jonathan Zamkoff, had spoken about Mercs 3. Zamkoff had said indicated that there could be underwater gameplay in the shooter.
