Today, September 5th 2012, Zynga quietly released FarmVille 2, it’s new virtual faming game!
We know that many of you loyal FarmVille Freaks are curious about FarmVille 2, so we wanted to let you know about it’s release.
FarmVille 2 is the sequel to FarmVille, but is an entirely new game experience. FarmVille 2 is independent of FarmVille and none of your stuff like Farm Cash, animals, decorations, or buildings from FarmVille carries over. Again, it is an entirely new game. Don’t worry the original FarmVille is not going anywhere. In FarmVille 2, players are invited to return to their old family farm in the countryside where they can work on getting it thriving again.
Before we go any further- we want to point out that FarmVille 2 is energy-driven like so many of Zynga’s other games. There are things such as Water requirements that can max out your play if you don’t have enough of these items to continue your play. Water is essential for running a farm, and if you don’t have enough, you’ll have to beg friends or wait to your water replenishes over time.
FarmVille 2 Post Card
As you all know, the original FarmVille put Zynga on the map and helped mainstream social gaming. Zynga is aware of the special relationship between FarmVille and it’s devoted players (FarmVille Freaks like yourself) and they have no intention of hurting this franchise with the release of FarmVille 2. Tim LeTourneau, vice president of games at Zynga says,
“The FarmVille franchise brought social games into mainstream consciousness, and we’re proud to launch a new chapter in the FarmVille legacy. FarmVille 2 offers players a new way to farm by delivering an immersive experience, rich characters, and new social features that make game boards come to life with their friends. We can’t wait to see the farms that players create.”
Zynga promises to not forget about the original FarmVille game and its large following of players, “Current players of FarmVille also have more to look forward to as Zynga will continue to roll out new expansions and new ways to decorate and share. FarmVille 2 and FarmVille have dedicated teams working to bring players a unique and enriching experience in each game.” The original FarmVille will continue to have new content including market updates and new features.
“We also want dedicated players of FarmVille to know that we remain fully committed to bringing them new reasons to play the original game they love.”
Besides its stunning 3D visuals, it boasts bragging rights as Zynga’s first ever game completely done in 3D graphics. It also introduces a new virtual farming experience and more incorporated friend interaction. In FarmVille 2, players are treated to an amazingly interactive and responsive virtual world where they can create their own farm homestead. Getting back to the farming basics- you can plant crops, raise animals, and sell your goods at a roadside grocery stand on your farm. There’s also Farm Mastery and crafting. The FarmVille 2 experience promises to work more like a real farm would. For example, crops yield crops and you sell them for coins or use your harvest to make animal feed and goods, only time will tell if it will be subjected to alien invasions and flying unicorns.
Farm Mastery & Crafting– FarmVille 2’s ecosystem thrives on water, just like a real farm. Players gather water from their well and their friends’ wells, and use it to nurture crops which, in turn, create feed for animals that produce ingredients such as milk and cheese. Players use these ingredients to craft useful items which can be sold in the roadside stand. As players continue this virtuous cycle, they’ll find that their crops grow faster and when the conditions are just right, players can grow giant prized crops to compete with friends. As players progress, they level up to unlock new items and expand their farm.

Nurturing Animals– In FarmVille 2, farm animals really come to life. Players care for their animals from babies to adults, and use resources they produce, such as milk or eggs, to sustain and grow their farm. Each animal responds differently to a player’s touch and just like crops, players can nurture and grow their animals to earn rewards.

Decorator’s Dream – Decorating, organizing and expanding farms can now be done effortlessly. FarmVille 2 includes a brand new control system where players use their mouse like a paintbrush to plant seeds, water crops and move items in broad strokes. For the first time ever, players can now right click in a Zynga game. This subtle, yet powerful, feature lets players more quickly pick up, move and rotate objects on their farm as they find new ways to express themselves. The rich and vibrant 3D world of FarmVille 2 includes gorgeous and adorable items ranging from garden gnomes to sprawling mansions.
FarmVille 2 Farm Horizon
Memorable Characters – As players restore their family farm, they meet memorable characters along the way. Marie, a tough country girl shows players the ropes early on, while Walther Thorncroft, a retired engineer turned gentleman farmer, teaches players how to take their farm to new heights. After a player’s farm is up and running, they’ll meet Cornelius, a local grocer unlike any other from previous games. Cornelius gives players daily challenges to harvest crops for his general store and uniquely tailors each challenge to actions players already enjoy taking within their farm.
