A wealth of EA games heading to Windows phone

4 April 2012

Windows Phone owners will be glad to know that some of EA’s most popular mobile titles are heading to the Windows marketplace.

The 21 EA titles will debut on Nokia Lumia phones before any other Windows phones, giving the Nokia holders something to cheer about before everyone gets access to the games.

In addition to the six games already on the Marketplace, upcoming games such as the perennial favourite Plants vs. Zombies, Need for Speed, Trivial Pursuit, The Sims and Mirror’s Edge will be available.

EA is also working to bring 10 independent games to the marketplace through Chillingo’s wide reach in the indie world, though there are no specifics on those titles yet.

When asked about the decision to partner with Nokia, EA’s VP of New Platforms, Glenn Roland, said that the decision was a “no-brainer”, as the publisher wants to be “on the platform that has the most potential”.

You can read the entirety of the interview with Glenn Roland on Nokia’s official site.

The games may be coming in a little late after their release, but at least Nokia and other Windows phones will be getting some love from one of the biggest game publishers.
