EA has announced its plans to create a branded space within PlayStation Home, and is currently developing the EA Sports Complex to be launched in the spring.

"We’re proud to support the PlayStation Home Beta with a very robust offering from EA Sports", said Peter Moore, president of EA Sports.

"The EA Sports Complex is a rich new online environment that presents a compelling and immersive social gaming experience for the global sports audience".

Designed with both casual and hardcore gamers in mind, the EA Sports Complex will allow gamers to play exclusive EA Sports multiplayer games and meet other EA Sports fans at the same time.

There will also be the ability to view leaderboards, as well as watch trailers and other content from EA Sports games.

EA says it is currently working with Sony on developing the space, and will announce more plans for its launch in the near future.
