DICE today announced the development Battlefield: Bad Company 2. B company will have to fight their way through snowy mountaintops, dense jungles and dusty villages, with a heavy arsenal of deadly weapons and a slew of vehicles to help them on their way.

DICE has also announced the summer 2009 release of Battlefield 1943, an all new multiplayer game coming to PC, Xbox LIVE Marketplace and PlayStation Store. Created using the same Frostbite engine that powers Bad Company, Battlefield 1943 will take players back to WWII, promising endless hours of 24-player multiplayer action over three classic and tropic locations; Wake Island, Guadalcanal and Iwo Jima.

“Bad Company 2 takes everything that players liked in the original and ups the ante – more vehicles, more destruction and more team play,” said Karl Magnus Troedsson, Executive Producer Battlefield Franchise, DICE. “Battlefield 1943 is a new take on a blast from the past classic coming to life with brand new technology that we’re eager to get into players hands.”

Battlefield: Bad Company 2 is scheduled for release in Q1 2010 for Xbox 360, PS3 and PC, while Battlefield 1943 will be available this summer for PC, Xbox LIVE Marketplace and PlayStation Store.
