Zynga announces new games, and gaming platform “project Z”

By Mike Dunn Published October 11, 2011

Today social gaming company Zynga hosted its very own Zynga Unleashed event today where it announced a couple of new games, and a new way to play Zynga games. The headline story today would have to be what Zynga is calling “Project Z” which is the company’s very own platform to play games.

Project Z is said to be a social platform for people who want to play games with their friends, and play the games they love with strangers as well. “Project Z” is still in the planning stages so there isn’t much information available, but it seems like this is Zynga’s way of separating its games from a specific social network. While it sounds like users will still need a Facebook account to login the service will be separate from Facebook, which means that all money spent on the service by gamers will not have to be shared. With the potential profits from “Project Z” it is clear why Zynga is so excited about the project after recent news of declining profits.

The biggest game announced at Zynga Unleashed would have to be the next “Ville” game to follow in the footsteps of Farmville, FrontierVille, and CityVille. The game is called CastleVille, and it sounds like it will have most of the same tried and true game mechanics from previous “Ville” games but with better visuals. CastleVille is not yet available, but it looks like it will be coming to Facebook first, and no word if or when it will make its way over to Google+.

Another exciting tidbit of news for Zynga gamers would be that Zynga has made games available on Facebook’s mobile site. Using HTML 5 Zynga has been able to create mobile versions of Zynga Poker, Words with Friends, and Farmville to be playable on Facebook’s mobile site.

In a company interview with CEO Yves Guillemot posted on the Ubisoft website Thursday, the executive reveals that there are remakes of Assassin's Creed games in the works, although he doesn't specify which ones.

"Players can be excited about some remakes, which will allow us to revisit some of the games we've created in the past and modernize them," he says, implying that it could pertain to games made before Odyssey. "There are worlds in some of our older Assassin's Creed games that are still extremely rich."

Surfaced patent shows what an Xbox streaming console would’ve looked like

An Xbox Series X sits next to both Series S models.

There have been a few Xbox devices that have never come to fruition, one of which was Keystone, a prototype for an affordable game streaming device you could hook up to your TV or monitor. Thanks to a surfaced patent, we've gotten an even closer look at what it would've potentially looked like.

The patent, first spotted by Windows Central, gives us a more complete view of the device. We've previously seen the Keystone in the flesh. Microsoft Gaming head Phil Spencer is known for hiding teases and interesting collectibles on the shelf in his office. In a 2022 X (formerly Twitter) post congratulating Bethesda on Fallout's 25th anniversary, you can see a small white device on the top shelf that's actually a Keystone prototype. Xbox told Digital Trends that it was a version of the device made before it decided to "refocus our efforts on a new approach.”
