New Brothers in Arms in Development

A new Brothers in Arms game is in development at Gearbox Software. During his interview on IGN's Up at Noon, Gearbox President and CEO Randy Pitchford discussed the new direction for the game formerly known as Brothers in Arms: Furious 4, and what's in store for the franchise's future.

"The hallmarks of the Brothers in Arms series are about authenticity, squad combat, brotherhood between soldiers," Pitchford told IGN. "I mean we really commit to and have a tremendous amount of deference in the Brothers in Arms games," and Furious 4 simply didn't align with these goals. Instead, Furious 4 will become a new IP, freeing Gearbox to work on a more traditional Brothers in Arms title.

“For what Brothers in Arms is meant to be, we love that too," said Pitchford, "and we do have some creative effort going on there that will lead eventually to a project that we’ll announce at some point." It's still too early to announce any specifics, but Pitchford says Gearbox loves the series, "and we’ve got some action there as well.”

Randy Pitchford also teased the return of Brothers in Arms on Podcast Unlocked.
