Zynga announced today that it is launching FrontierVille. This wild west-themed social game is much like FarmVille, but features the option to control a whole virtual family of avatars and the ability to help others on their farms. The game also includes more variables, like wildlife encounters, varying weather, and vegetation growth.
“FrontierVille gives users creative new ways to connect with people around the world while bringing out the pioneering spirit in all of us,” said Brian Reynolds, Zynga’s chief game designer. “FrontierVille is Oregon Trail meets Little House on the Prairie meets FarmVille.”
