Medal of Honor Airborne Set to Ship August 28

Electronic Arts today announced that Medal of Honor Airborne, the newest installment from EA’s critically-acclaimed Medal of Honor franchise which was credited with pioneering the First-Person Shooter (FPS) WWII genre when it debuted in 1999, will ship to store shelves August 28, 2007. While building on the key tenets of the franchise including historical accuracy and authenticity, Medal of Honor Airborne is set to redefine the series by introducing players to an entirely new way of experiencing a WWII FPS — namely the fully interactive Airborne experience. Medal of Honor Airborne will ship for the PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 and PC.

“Medal of Honor Airborne is a new direction for the franchise introducing innovations that redefine the series as well as impact the FPS genre as a whole,” explained Neil Young, VP and General Manager at EALA. “We can’t wait for August when everyone can experience the new Medal of Honor, the first WWII game that allows the player to land anywhere and truly fight the way they want to.” Developed by EA Los Angeles (EALA), Medal of Honor Airborne has not yet been rated by the ESRB.
