EA has officially announced Mercenaries Inc. after a leaked video of the game was released by a former Pandemic Studios employee.

Mercenaries Inc. will be the third installment in the Mercenaries franchise and will be more multiplayer focused than the previous games. The game's existence was originally leaked on Bitmob by a former Pandemic Studios employee after the studio was closed down earlier this month. EA has now officially announced the game and it is currently under development at the EA Los Angeles studio. Several former Pandemic Studios developers that weren't part of the big layoff are currently working on the new game. Little details other than that the game is officially under development have been announced. It is rumored to feature 4 player co-op gameplay though. In the press release Nick Earl, who is the Senior VP and Group General Manager at EA, stated this about the new Mercenaries game: "From the studio at EALA, a core creative team is forging new ground and conceptualizing new ideas for this exciting franchise."

No release date or platform has been announced for Mercenaries Inc. which is a working title for now. Check out the leaked footage after the break.
