Electronic Arts, while on its Q3 2009 financial earnings conference call, today announced that Battlefield: Bad Company 2 will release sometime in the 2010 calendar year.

The original Battlefield: Bad Company released in mid-2008 to solid reviews and was the first game to use DICE's Frostbite engine.

UPDATE: Feb. 5, 2009: Electronic Arts has officially posted a press release for Battlefield: Bad Company 2, and in a pleasant surprise, the sequel will now be on PC as well as PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360; previously, Battlefield: BF2 was only for play on console systems.
