In less than one month to to its release Cityville has overtaken Farmville to become the Zynga’s largest game, in terms of number of active users.
CityVille has over 67 million active users, compared to only 57 million for FarmVille, according to AppData. Zynga claims that CityVille is Zynga’s most social game to date with new features that allow players to build a city, interact with friends’ cities, and build franchises with the help of their friends.
“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 gameplay 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.”
Zynga is the world’s largest social game developer with more than 225 million monthly active users playing their games. Zynga’s games include FarmVille, FrontierVille, Mafia Wars, Zynga Poker, Café World, Treasure Isle, YoVille, FishVille and PetVille.
