Despite failing to gain high critical acclaim, the series reboot Medal of Honor, developed by Danger Close Games, will be getting a sequel according to a recent announcement from the game’s executive producer.
To be fair, MoH did sell over five million copies, which in the videogame industry regularly translates to the green light for a successor. In a statement made through the MoH website today, Greg Goodrich, Executive Producer for the game, expressed deep gratitude for the support the team received from the fan community and the attentiveness of the team to their feedback as they work towards this next title.
"We wanted to take a moment to thank each of you for supporting us, our new studio and our storied franchise," Goodrich said. "We would especially like to thank all of the long time Medal of Honor fans out there who have stuck with us over the years."
And before giving a big thank you to the support of service men and women, Goodrich added, "Since our launch last October, we’ve studied, listened and absorbed much of your feedback and are very excited to be marching forward on the next title."
The future of this franchise is clouded by the dark side of skepticism, but if the team really listens as much as Goodrich implies, big things may be on the horizon for the series.

Yes, Danger Close is currently working on the next Medal of Honor.
Just recently, EA announced that the reboot of Medal of Honor was a big success with over 5 million copies sold. We wanted to take a moment to thank each of you for supporting us, our new studio and our storied franchise. We would especially like to thank all of the long time Medal of Honor fans out there who have stuck with us over the years.
Since our launch last October, we’ve studied, listened and absorbed much of your feedback and are very excited to be marching forward on the next title. We can’t wait to tell you more about it, so check back often to the website and the fan page on Facebook.
As you all know, our goal was to tell the story of today’s soldier and to do so with the utmost respect and reverence. We’ve received many letters, emails and messages from active servicemen and women from around the world, along with veterans and their families, with appreciation for our recent depiction of their community. I can’t tell you how important this is to everyone here at Danger Close Games. You are the heartbeat of this team and this franchise and we are privileged and honored to tell your story. Medal of Honor has always been fueled by the passion of our fans and the commitment and sacrifice shown by the men and women of our armed services.
It’s going to be a fun ride for the Medal of Honor franchise. We are happy to have you aboard.
