Riccitiello talks Godfather II

Talking at a session with investors at the William Blair & Company's 28th Annual Growth Stock Conference, EA CEO John Riccitiello said that EA's Redwood Shores studio is at work on a sequel to The Godfather game.

"It's a game that I think we'll be talking a lot about this fall," said Riccitiello.

"You can play this game both at the street level, much like a GTA-style game, but you can also play it top-down, almost like you're in an RTS, controlling the strategy of the boroughs so you can see what's going on."

Riccitiello also added that EA's Hunter Smith, who worked on two EA James Bond games will be executive producer on The Godfather II.

Thanks, Next-Gen.
