It was only last week when we reported that Sid Meier’s Civilization, the famed strategy game on PCs was set to step onto the Facebook platform in June. Today, Peter Moore announced the coming of Madden NFL to Facebook. The reason to do so? Well everyone is jumping on the Facebook wagon, why not EA with a few games in its armory?
Madden NFL has been big in the gaming market with over 60 million games sold globally. Now I am not sure as to what exactly did Peter mean when he stated that he wants to give gamers a simpler experience. I personally think by simpler experience he meant a much wider reach of the game utilizing the social network’s platform. Other than this, another question I have in mind is as to who will be doing the game’s development? I am not sure if EA is going to get its team head on with it, and most probably it will head over to some existing leader in game development on Facebook. Playfish is more likely to take the game away given that there were already talks of Playfish having something from EA.
