This morning King.com announced that their most popular Facebook title, Bubble Witch Saga, will be getting the mobile treatment this July. What’s more, the game will sync with your existing Facebook game, so the progress between the two will never differ.
It’s nice to see more developers moving in this direction. For the most part, games that sync with their Facebook counterparts to carry over progress have been few and far between. Diamond Dash and FarmVille are really the only two notable examples that even come to mind. But between yesterday’s announcement of Ruby Blast going multiplatform and today’s King.com announcement, it looks like we might finally be on the cusp of that great “at your desk and in your pocket” future we’ve all been waiting for.
