Greg Goodrich, exectuive producer of Medal of Honor, officially confirmed earlier this week that Danger Close, (dangerclosegames.com) is developing the sequel to the first-person shooter Medal of Honor, continuing the popular franchise. The latest release of Medal of Honor which started selling in stores in October 2010, has already sold 5 million copies worldwide.
“Yes, Danger Close is currently working on the next Medal of Honor.”, writes Greg on the Medal of Honor blog.
“Since our launch last October, we’ve studied, listened and absorbed much of your feedback and are very excited to be marching forward on the next title. We can’t wait to tell you more about it, so check back often to the website and the fan page on Facebook.”
News of Danger Close developing the next MoH title, confirms rumors that had been swirling around early last month, after Danger Close posted job openings. As I wrote about in January, Jonathan Leack, a writer for Playstation Lifestyle, noticed Danger Close studio has some job openings to work on an unannounced AAA first person shooter title, which some writers and bloggers have rumored to be the next title in the Medal of Honor series.

Danger Close Studio is now hiring for a possible next Medal of Honor game
Jonathan Leack, a writer for Playstation Lifestyle, noticed Danger Close studio has some job openings to work on an unannounced AAA first person shooter title, which some writers and bloggers have rumored to be the next title in the Medal of Honor series.
As Playstation Lifestyle points out: “The Danger Close team has only ever produced the recent Medal of Honor game, chances are the game will be a continuation of the franchise, but it could always be a brand-new IP. The listing does mention the PlayStation 3 as well as multiplayer/co-op experience, so this fits into the sphere of the Medal of Honor series.”
Jonathan noticed the openings over at Gamasutra, however the job openings can also be found on the Electronic Arts web site.
EA has job openings working at the Danger Close Studio for a Senior Gameplay Engineer and a Weapons and Vehicles artist.
Some of the primary responsibilities of the artist include collaborating with the Art Director, Designers and Concept Artists to develop the look and feel of assets. And also to create weapons and vehicles that look great, are efficient, built to scale, and satisfy budgetary requirements.
Key duties of the Sr. Gameplay engineer include designing, prototyping, implementing and polishing gameplay systems and tools.
Here’s a look at one of the more popular Medal of Honor videos on YouTube, the Medal of Honor / Linkin Park – “The Catalyst” Trailer.
