A couple of EA news with a big announcement set for GDC, a Simpsons mobile game in the works, and more details on Medal of Honor: Warfighter.
EA teases they have a big announcement planned for March 6 during this year's GDC conference with rumors ranging from either details on the future of the Mass Effect franchise (same day as Mass Effect 3 is released), NBA Live 13 getting an official debut, or Crysis 3 getting its debut.
A new Simpsons game called "The Simpsons: Tapped Out" is in development for mobile devices with iOS devices getting the game first and Android devices in the future. The game will be a free-to-play game and involves the player fixing up the city after Homer accidentally triggers a nuclear incident at the plant. The game will be using doughnuts as in-game currency with the ability to purchase additional doughnuts with real money.
EA announces they are planning for an October release window for Medal of Honor: Warfighter with the multiplayer allowing a wider range of Tier 1 organizations to be playable. The game will have a co-op story campaign separate from the single player campaign. Also confirmed are all the missions in the game are based on real-life events.
