The wonderful world of Disney coming to Facebook in 2012

Playdom has released a string of quality social games since being acquired by Disney, but so far none of those have taken advantage of Disney’s vast library of recognizable brands. But it looks like that’s going to change, as the company announced plans to launch several new Disney-branded Facebook games next year.

The announcement was made at a panel at the recent f8 conference. As reported by Inside Social Games, Disney Interactive’s John Pleasants revealed plans to bring out between two and four new games in 2012, which will be based on recognizable Disney properties. However, it wasn’t revealed just what those properties might be.

It’s possible the new games could be tie-ins for upcoming Disney films. In 2012 Disney is scheduled to release Pixar’s next film Brave, Studio Ghibli’s The Secret World of Arrietty, anda new 3D computer animated film called Wreck-It Ralph.
