EA are working on a secret “unannounced” project for Project Natal.

That is according to the CV of a former intern at the developer, Ross Danielson. Danielson had been working on the project since May until August as a Software Engineer Intern, doing research and development.

This is what it says on his LinkedIn:

“Software Engineer Intern
Electronic Arts
(Public Company; ERTS; Computer Games industry)

May 2009 — August 2009

Research and development for unannounced Microsoft Natal product.”

Interesting. Thanks, sa.

EA was on the list of confirmed publishers.

It is worth mentioning that it says Electronic Arts Los Angeles, who makes the Boom Blox and Command & Conquer series.

It’ll be a version of Boom Blox where you have to throw real tennis balls at the screen.

One of the largest publishers in the world working on something for MS’s next big thing which they haven’t announced yet???!!!??!?!? /faints

Actually EA LA adds a little actual info. Boom Blox is one of the few Wii titles I rate highly as designed well to make good use of the motion controller. Would be a good test of Natal’s accuracy if they could pull this sort of this off.
