On Tuesday, Facebook announced that it was expanding its mobile empire with Facebook Mobile Games Publishing. The company's new pilot program intends to help small developers promote games for Facebook, as well as grow the social media network's huge mobile portfolio.

Facebook already has some big, popular games on its resume, courtesy of large game developers like Zynga, famous for FarmVille and Words With Friends. But smaller game developers have an exposure problem on the social media giant's network. That's what Facebook Mobile Games Publishing intends to help with.

In the announcement on Facebook's developers page, Facebook's Victor Medeiros explained what the program aims to do. The initiative is "a new pilot program to help small and medium sized developers take their mobile games global. Through the program, we will work with select game developers and provide promotional support for their games in placements across our mobile apps," wrote Medeiros. "This will bring new, high-quality mobile games to the millions of Facebook users who love to play games."

However, the program is still in its pilot stage, so don't expect to see an influx of new, never-before-heard-of games on your Facebook page any time soon.
