Hello Pogoians!
How’s everyone’s week going? Hopefully great! Before we go into the Construction Zone I’d like to do a formal introduction.
Pogo_Sconnie here! I’ll be taking over as the new face of the community long-term! 😊
It’s gonna be a fun ride!
A brief background about me – I grew up in Wisconsin with a passion for sports and food (avid Packers, Badger, and Louisville fan). I’m not too fond of cold weather but love snow if that makes any sense, ha. I migrated a little south to Louisville, where I graduated from the University of Louisville #GoCards. In my spare time, I love traveling, binge-watching The Office & Jersey Shore, attending a sporting event or music concerts, or going to an amusement park (Cedar Point is the best park in the world).
Between now and then, I’ll be checking on the forums and on social media a few times a day to keep up with you all. 😊
I look forward to getting to know you, supporting you and the community more openly very soon. I’m still familiarizing myself with POGO, so go easy on me.
Cheers and GAME ON.

Welcome to the Construction Zone! Here is where you will find the latest game updates. What is currently “under construction” on Pogo? As often as I can, I’ll sit down with the Pogo team and get the latest info on which games are being worked on and what’s coming. I will always post more details when I have them available. Please understand updates are subject to change.
Please understand that unless an announcement comes directly from EA and/or Pogo, we cannot endorse it as true. All games and updates reported here in the Construction Zone have been given the “go ahead” and are on track to come out. Anything else that is reported is speculation right now.
