JJ Abrams said this back in February, but was then confirmed for the Star Wars sequels. Also keep in mind Valve - a company full of game developers - hasn't managed to pony up the sequel to their biggest franchise.

It's a (potentially) nice idea, but it's not happening. Not this decade, at least.

I know he said it a long time ago, I watched the presentation as DICE. But apparently this is conformation... apparently apparently :P

I'm pretty sure your friend just saw the thread on TIL that hit the Reddit frontpage a couple of days ago. If there was anything newer than that on Reddit, it'd be big news.

Probably :P
