Zynga, the creators of Farmville, now launch in the game on console

If you remember a time when there were games on Facebook, you may remember Farmville. Many people played it for fun and some people have invested a lot of money to raise their crops. With the gradual removal of the games on Facebook, we might have been thought that it would have been the end of Zynga. Not so. Instead, he strengthened his grip on the game industry. Initially, he entered the mobile games and met with great success in the mobile game industry. But lately, Zynga has engulfed various studios in his wake, such as ECHR Games, Naturalization and Star lark. And it turns out that it was to use the talent of the studio for its big step in the game on console.

Star Wars: Hunters will be their big step in the ring of the games on Console, which should be on Nintendo Switch in 2022. There are other games that are in preparation including the President of Zynga, Bernard Kim, can not still talk.. But Kim confirmed that Zynga always wants to keep things multiplatform, always focus on crossed games and on the mobile first. It s a bold decision, since they want to stay obsessed with hyper-casual games, but it has worked for them in the last 14 years. It may not be as stupid as it seems.

Especially since Zynga wants to stick to free games. Our goal is to get an audience base as wide as possible, so free-to-play and mobile are in fact key pillars to do this, said Kim. I do not think there will be a change on that side. This is not a bad thing, but we already know that Zynga, with all his plans to embark on the console games and stick to mobile games, looks at the NFT market.

Kim tried to reassure that Zynga wants to pay attention to the NFT. We want to adopt a secure, inclusive and environmentally friendly approach, he said. He also explained that that was why they had hired as they had done. Yet this shows that Zynga goes in a direction with regard to their future. We are optimistic about the multiplatform gameplay, otherwise we would not do it. »

That s right, but it will be necessary to see if Zynga goes in the right direction, or too much at a time.
