Zynga taking ‘ville’ to the frontier with FrontierVille

Zynga Games could probably buy an office on Jupiter with the money it rakes in from the success of FarmVille, but the Facebook developer doesn’t rely solely on the product for its revenue — the social games gurus have a large stable of games that people of all ages are digging. The latest of those might just be “FrontierVille.”

Recently, tech blog Tech Crunch logged into a Facebook developer test account and discovered images of the previously unannounced game, as well as a description that unveils it as a frontier living simulation. “You gotta’ chop trees to construct buildings, clear land to raise livestock, plant crops, and raise a family,” the description supposedly reads.

When asked for comment by Kotaku, Zynga was forced to confirm it, stating that more details would be coming close to the game’s launch.
