EA Mobile has made announcement on new, upcoming titles from their Hasbro licensing deal.
EA Mobile will be releasing Scrabble and Yahtzee Deluxe during Q2 08. Other releases will be Monopoly Here & Now, Trivial Pursuit, Risk and Yahtzee Adventures. Some of the Hasbro licenses have already a proven trackrecord in the mobile games industry. Monopoly was once in the hands of iFone (later Glu) and for years, Mr. Goodliving (Later Real Networks) handled Trivial Pursuit.

“We are thrilled that together we are bringing our great toys and games to life in the digital world and providing consumers with new and dynamic ways to enjoy our amazing brands,” said Mark Blecher, Hasbro’s senior vice president of Digital Media and Gaming.
