Wow, I just refreshed IGN’s page and they have an exclusive up for a new EA game tentatively called “EA Playground”. It is inspired by games like Wii Sports, which utilize multiplayer and the controls to deliver an immersive experience. Here’s a snippet of the interview with EA Canada:

IGN Wii: What is EA Playground all about?

Dave McCarthy: EA Playground is all about capturing the sheer fun of being a kid. We’ve designed a dream playground full of interesting characters, cool collectables, and most importantly, a mix of easy to pick up and incredibly fun playground games. There are some classic favorites in there along with some new twists. It’s all packaged together in a meaningful single player “campaign” to play your way through the schoolyard. In addition, there’s also an approachable and fun multiplayer party experience that will appeal to all ages.

Check out the full interview, which has details on the game’s multiplayer modes as well.
