Developer now integrated
ESN is the company behind Battlelog, the now cemented foundation of shooter Battlefield 3. Earlier today it was confirmed EA has purchased the company, and as such, ESN is integrated with EA and DICE, and will be working more closely with them.
According to DICE general manager Karl Magnus Troedsson, this means Battlelog development will "accelerate"; ESN says it's hiring more people and "looking forward to [focusing] all of its energy on DICE, Battlelog and the Battlefield series" -- no word on the upcoming Medal of Honor: Warfighter, or whether in-game VOIP will make it into Battlefield 3 or Battlefield 4.
