Video game publisher Namco Bandai announced its increased focus on Facebook with two new and original titles launching for the social network, as well as an upcoming Portal Fan Page.
The two releases, City of Football and Treasure Abyss, both are still in beta and offer microtransactions systems powered by ISAO Corporation. Namco Bandai plans to eventually release the two games to iOS devices, as its strategy is to develop titles compatible with both iPhones and major social networks.
City of Football is a soccer team management sim in which players take on the role of team owners, acquiring and releasing athletes in a stock market-like system. The game uses data taken from English Premier League, Italian Serie A, Liga Espanola, and UEFA Champion League.
Treasure Abyss is a role-playing game in which players can explore dungeons with the avatar data of their friends. Namco Bandai says it designed this title for gamers to "play easily in a long time", and that it will regularly release new character jobs, dungeons, weapons, and more.
The company also revealed its plans to create a Portal Fan Page on Facebook, where it will take advantage of "new promotion techniques" offer news on its traditional games, mobile releases, and social network apps.
