It just didn't say which one. In an investor conference call, CEO John Riccitiello broke the news that EA is moving the launch to Q1 of fiscal 2013 (January-March of this year).
Later, during the Q&A portion, COO Peter Moore called it "a major title based on a major piece of the EA brand IP." EA recently acquired KlickNation (http://massively.joystiq.com/2011/12/02/ea-bioware-acquires-klicknation-rebrands-it-bioware-social/), rebranding it BioWare Social, but that just happened last month -- likely not enough time to even think a game would be ready for this quarter. EA also releases social games through Playfish, EA Play, and EA Sports.http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.joystiq.com/media/feedlogo.gif (http://www.joystiq.com)EA delays unspecified social game based on 'major' EA IP (http://www.joystiq.com/2012/02/01/ea-delays-unspecified-social-game-based-on-major-ea-ip/) originally appeared on Joystiq (http://www.joystiq.com) on Wed, 01 Feb 2012 19:15:00 EST.
