Just yesterday, we had reported that John Riccitiello from Electronic Arts had spoken about Godfather II and had indicated that the sequel will have RTS-like features. Now Riccitiello has revealed that Dragon Age and Saboteur will not be out this year. Instead, these two games will be out in 2009.
John Riccitiello is the chief executive officer of Electronic Arts. At the Blair & Company Growth Stock Conference in Chicago, an analyst asked him about EA’s new intellectual properties and which one of them would be among its internal top 10 bestsellers for 2008. Riccitiello listed games like Mercenaries 2, Mirror’s Edge, Spore and Dead Space amongst others. However, he then went on to reveal that Saboteur and Dragon Age would not be released in 2008.
Dragon Age is being developed by BioWare while Saboteur is being developed by Pandemic. Both these studios were acquired by Electronic Arts last year. The two games are now expected to be out in the first quarter of next year.
