Zynga launches new game 'CityVille'

NEW DELHI: Zynga today announced the global launch of CityVille, a new social game allowing anyone anywhere to build their dream city from the ground up.

Available in beta in the coming weeks, CityVille is debuting in five languages — marking the first international game launch for Zynga, said a press release.

CityVille comes with new features that allow players to build a city, interact with friends' cities, and build franchises with the help of their friends. The game follows on the heels of the widely-successful launch of FrontierVille, which currently has 28 million monthly users. CityVille will be available in English, French, Italian, German, and Spanish on Facebook at CityVille.com.

“CityVille is where Monopoly meets Main Street," said Sean Kelly, GM of CityVille. "We are thrilled to bring the world our most social game to date — building on the best-of-breed game play that Zynga fine-tuned with FarmVille and FrontierVille. Instead of harvesting crops you're harvesting your neighborhood, instead of clearing your friend's frontier you're working on a friend's franchise. We hope players from around the world have as much fun playing CityVille as we had building it."
