Sony Online Entertainment LLC launched its popular turn-based strategy game PoxNora on Facebook.
PoxNora, a combination turn-based strategy game and collectible card game set in a fantasy world of creatures, relics and spells, was acquired by Sony Online Entertainment in January 2009. Ever since, the game has expanded in reach and popularity with over 2.5 million registered accounts to date.
“The Facebook platform offers gamers a new and powerful way to interact with a tap into their social communities” said John Smedley, president of Sony Online Entertainment.
“With the launch of PoxNora for Facebook, we are leveraging the expertise SOE has gained bringing entertainment to the online game community for over 10 years,” he adds.
SOE has customized and optimized the Facebook version of PoxNora to appeal to a wider social networking audience in a fun and engaging way. PoxNora for Facebook will harness the platform’s social channels by allowing users to invite friends and post updates of accomplishments.
Online social gaming has seen a tremendous growth in parallel to Facebook’s growing popularity and with the launch of this game, the time cannot be more appropriate for SOE. We hope to see more games on Facebook from Sony.
We will bring to you more details on the game shortly.
