Battlefield 2: Modern Combat Announced For PSP - 26.4.05

Games developers Digital Illusions CE (DICE) have officially announced they are working on Battlefield 2: Modern Combat for the PSP. The game is based around ground breaking technology in the upcoming Battlefield 2 and is planned for a first quarter 2006 debut.

From their website:

We are looking forward to launching the Battlefield brand on handheld platform too, and we have strong beliefs in the spread of Playstation Portables, said Patrick Söderlund, CEO at Digital Illusions.

To Digital Illusions licensing is an attractive solution since the Company doesn’t have enough resources personnel-wise to produce the PSP version at the moment. We also get a larger product portfolio without spending money on extra development costs, said Patrick Söderlund, CEO at Digital Illusions.

The game will be released at the same time as the Xbox 360 launch in early 2006 but the Xbox and PS2 versions will arrive in Autumn 2005.
