CastleVille is a defunct social network game made by Zynga's Dallas studio and was released in November 2011. It combined a number of elements from the company's other "Ville" range of games. On launch it had received a million "likes" on Facebook. By the end of its first month, it had become the fifth most popular game on Facebook with 26.5 million players.[1] The game was a freemium game, meaning there is no cost to play but players have the option of purchasing premium content.

Zynga created a sequel called CastleVille Legends in early 2013.[2]

CastleVille shut down on 30 April 2016.[3]
