Zynga finally releases its epic action strategy mobile game Dawn of Titans

After several years of development, Zynga is finally launching its epic action-strategy game Dawn of Titans around the world. The game has breathtaking graphics, enabling players to immerse themselves in a fantasy world where they can wage battles with huge titans and fight with armies that have thousands of troops. It’s the kind of game that you expect to see on consoles and PC, not on smartphones and tablets.

The free-to-play game’s launch on iOS and Android is a big validation for Zynga, which bought developer NaturalMotion for $527 million in 2014. Zynga has struggled in the last few years to regain its glory, and it has had a hard time moving beyond its core casual gaming audience for titles such as Zynga Poker, FarmVille, and Words with Friends. NaturalMotion, led by Torsten Reil, has been the great hope of Zynga in its pursuit of hardcore gamers on mobile devices.
