Last week, we reported on Digital Illusions' development plans for next generation consoles from both Microsoft and Sony. Today, in a Swedish-only press release, Digital Illusions CE (DICE) announced that Battlefield Modern Combat will be developed for the Xbox successor.

Interestingly, the release schedule for the game is the same for current consoles and the " MS Nextgen" : Fall 2005. This release date certainly hints that the rumors of a Fall 2005 launch date for the Xbox successor might be true.

This information comes just after EA' s announcement of a tender offer for all outstanding shares of the Swedish game developer.
