Codemasters Vice-President of Studios, Gavin Cheshire has confirmed that the publisher's Southam-based studio is currently hard at work on sequels to 2008's Race Driver: Grid and last year's Operation Flashpoint: Dragon Rising.
Speaking to Develop, Cheshire revealed: "In Southam it's full steam ahead with the next iteration in our Flashpoint series, as well as the next Dirt and Grid. It'll be interesting to see how it all pans out."
While the publisher has previously mentioned a third Colin McRae: Dirt title, this is the first time its dropped talk of Race Driver: Grid and Operation Flashpoint sequels. Presumably none of the games will be released this year (as we'd expect official PR announcements to have been handed out by now if that was the case) but there's a good chance one or two of them will drop next year.
Codemasters' currently has F1 2010 pinned down for release later this year, while Bodycount is due to land early in 2011.

| Looking forward to a new generation F1 game But operation flashpoint? After the planning, support and responsibility disaster that was Dragon Rising? How do they expect anyone to trust that franchise again, after the horrible backstabbing they did? (not sneakily, mind you, but blatantly in the open, with the CSI equivalent of the gaming authorities shrugging it off like orphans' tears of an evil duck's back. | ||||||||
| Agreed, Dragon Rising was horrible, utter bull stinky exhaust compared to the first one. | ||||||||
