On mobile, you get to enjoy the more leisurely life of running a small farm on the seaside. The success of Country Escape could have a huge impact on one of social gaming’s biggest companies, which will report its financial performance results for its first quarter 2014 on April 23.Īs noted in our earlier preview story, the new game picks up a lot of the improvements that Zynga made to FarmVille with the launch of FarmVille 2, and then it makes them work in a more contained space of a mobile device and a touchscreen interface. Now Zynga looks to make an impact with an iOS and Android version of its most popular Facebook game, FarmVille 2. “We’ve created an opportunity for a company like Supercell with Hay Day by not bringing FarmVille to mobile,” Don Mattrick, the chief executive of Zynga, previously admitted in an interview with GamesBeat. This left room for competitors, namely SuperCell’s Hay Day.

Zynga previously released mobile versions of the original FarmVille: FarmVille and FarmVille Express, but they never caught on nearly as well as their Facebook counterpart. You can also put your friends’ avatars to work on your farm, setting them to fishing, mining, and other activities.Ĭountry Escape represents a big step in publisher Zynga’s push for mobile, a market it’s never come close to dominating in the same way it owns Facebook gaming. You also spend real money on an in-game currency, keys, that’ll speed up the experience. Like the Facebook version, FarmVille 2: Country Escape is a free-to-play game. As we focus on growing and sustaining this beloved franchise, we’re proud for FarmVille 2: Country Escape to usher in a new chapter of FarmVille on the go.” We’ve created an experience where all FarmVille fans will feel right at home. “The foundation of the mobile game was built on listening to player feedback, so we’ve added features such as giving players the choice to play with friends or on their own, connectivity between the mobile game and FarmVille 2 on Facebook, and the ability to play offline.

“FarmVille pioneered social gaming on the web, and with FarmVille 2: Country Escape we’ve reimagined the franchise as a mobile experience to match how players want to connect with their farm and with their friends,” said Jonathan Knight, vice president of games at Zynga in a press release sent to GamesBeat. However, the mobile version will also accommodate players who’d rather play on their own. Friends can also visit your property and help your veggies grow. Like the Facebook counterpart, Country Escape allows you to build your own farm by maintaining crops and animals.
