Zynga’s NaturalMotion revs up its first look at CSR2 mobile racing game

After 130 million downloads over the past three years, CSR Racing has become one of Zynga’s best franchises. And now the company’s NaturalMotion division is unveiling the sequel CSR2.

CSR2 is a simple but beautiful drag racing title that shows that mobile games are looking much more like console titles these days. Zynga is revealing a first look at beautiful, 3D-animated cars such as the Ferrari LaFerrari and McLaren P1. It is a critical title for Zynga, which still needs bigger hits on mobile, and it’s a step into a new level of game quality.
