Som bekant utannonserades Iphone 6 och Apple Watch i tisdags och nu menar en av EA-bossarna, Frank Gibeau, att de är intresserade av sistnämnda som de menar ger nya möjligheter. Det är i en intervju med Cnet han säger:
"One of the things we're intrigued with in the mobile division is seeing wearables emerge as a gaming platform. We think we're in the early stages of that, if you look at Oculus and its relationship with Facebook, and Google Glass. Now with Apple's big announcement with the watch, there's a trend here where wearables are going to increase in performance, capability and unique functions over time that we believe will enable gaming experiences."
Gibeau berättar även att EA redan är i full gång med spel till exempelvis just smarta klockor och fortsätter:
"In fact, we have two teams prototyping wearable experiences that are not only standalone, but also some ideas where you can actually use the fitness component in the watch that can unlock capabilities in the game that might be on your Iphone. Or you could do crafting or some other auction trading on your watch that goes back into your tablet game that you might check out later when you get home."
Han avslutar med att förklara att det visserligen fortfarande är i ett tidigt skede, men att EA tycker att det är spännande och tänker vara med på tåget:
We're pretty excited about it; We think it's very early days. But for EA, the emergence of another gaming platform is compelling for us".
