Electronic Arts has unboxed the first details on its forthcoming Medal of Honor reboot, confirming the game will take the form of a modern-day shooter based in Afghanistan.
Due out on PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 and PC in 2010, the eponymous FPS focuses on the Tier 1 Operator, namely "a relatively unknown entity directly under the National Command Authority who takes on missions no one else can handle."
The game’s developers have been working closely with the unit in order to successfully “create the most authentic modern war experience," as inspired by real life events.
EALA general manager Sean Decker commented: “EA has always been an advocate for telling the soldiers’ story. The new Medal of Honor follows that tradition. We felt it was important to tell the story of today’s war and today’s elite soldiers via today’s most relevant medium – videogames."
“We are so proud to bring together two powerhouse development teams to make this game a reality; EA Los Angeles and EA DICE. Medal of Honor promises to be an unforgettable entry in the modern shooter genre."
Those of you itching to get a glimpse of the action won’t have long to wait — the first footage will be deployed at the VGA’s on December 12. For now, GameTrailers have a short teaser to whet your appetite, seen below:
