Reading Time: 2 minutes

Zynga Inc., a wholly-owned publishing label of Take-Two Interactive (NASDAQ: TTWO) and a global leader in interactive entertainment, today announced that Words With Friends 2 is introducing Clubs, a new feature that expands the word game’s social experience by offering shared spaces that players can enjoy together.

While WWF2 has always been intensely social, the game has traditionally focused on competitive experiences between two players as they trade quick and clever wordplay. With Clubs, active players can form a community with up to 30 fellow players who share similar interests, play styles or skill levels. After forming or joining a Club, players can now enjoy a private group experience where they can chat, instantly start Classic games with other members and team up to compete against other Clubs.

Words With Friends is a cultural sensation that has connected tens of millions of players to create friendships for more than a decade, and Clubs bring a new level of social connection through group activities,” said Yaron Leyvand, Executive Vice President, Head of Games at Zynga. “This feature further personalizes the gameplay experience to create a fun community where players can engage and connect in real time.”

Clubs Key Features:

  • Weekly Competitions: Players can compete against other clubs in weekly events
  • Trophies: Club members can earn trophies that will count towards their Club score and will be used to rank them against other Clubs in a weekly leaderboard
  • Leagues and Tiers: Weekly rankings determine if Clubs advance into higher leagues and tiers that offer players exclusive rewards
  • Clubs Currency: Players can earn Club Coins to unlock exclusive items available in the Club Store

Launched in 2009, Words With Friends has grown from a popular mobile game into a global pop culture sensation. The franchise has expanded to new platforms such as Facebook Messenger, launched a hit sequel with Words With Friends 2, and brought innovative new ways for people around the world to play. The franchise’s success through this more than decade-long journey has been powered by player connections made through quick and clever wordplay that has become a touchstone in fans’ lives.

Words With Friends 2 is playable on iOS and Android devices worldwide, as well as on Facebook. For more information and to connect with other fans, follow us on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter, and visit the game’s website at www.wordswithfriends.com.

Evolution Group will showcase numerous headline games from its 110-plus planned new releases for 2025 at ICE Barcelona, 20–22 January, stand #2D20. All of the Group’s eight brands — Evolution, NetEnt, Red Tiger, Ezugi, Nolimit City, Big Time Gaming, DigiWheel and Livespins — will feature, representing the very best in innovative online live casino, RNG and slots at ICE’s exciting debut in the city.

Major releases from Evolution being premiered include Ice Fishing, Marble Race, Race Track, Fireball Roulette, Red Baron, Super Color Game, War and Lightning Bac Bo.

Ice Fishing, described as “a speed game show and Evolution’s coolest virtual money wheel game to date”, gives players a real-time fishing experience and the chance to reel in multiplied wins.

More fast-paced action comes in the shape of two very different Evolution racing titles. Marble Race, a “game of pure action that’s as fun to watch as it is to take part in”, sees colourful marbles hurtle around a custom-made race track created exclusively by Evolution. Race Track  is an RNG retro horse racing game inspired by ’80s arcade games, with dynamic bets spots and personalised stats for players. Fireball Roulette, which builds on the Fireball bonus game in Evolution’s Lightning Storm, promises to be 2025’s hottest game.

Adding to the live game choice, Ezugi is set to wow visitors with Revolution Roulette, Triple Zero Roulette, and EZ Bingo. Each title has something new and different for operators, with Revolution Roulette’s unique wheel with 2x, 3x and 5x multiplier pockets offering a new spin on the classic game.

In online slots, NetEnt leads with Finn and The Dragon Tales, in which slot favourite Finn is gearing up for his most daring quest yet, battling dragons to claim Golden Keys and unlock hidden worlds. Jack Hammer 4: Chasing The Dragon, Divine Fortune Black and Golden Egg Invaders each deliver their own unique adventures, featuring gangster showdowns, divine riches, and intergalactic UFO encounters respectively.

Red Tiger unleashes Zillard King Megaways, where a monstrous beast evolves through three stages, unlocking Free Spins and summoning electrifying Thunder Wilds. In Serpent King, a new king emerges, continuing the legacy of Primate King and Zillard King. Bass Boss Megaways offers fishing fun with the chance to reel in big fish, and in Gods of Troy Megaways, collecting shields can lead to divine transformations and legendary rewards every 10th spin.

Nolimit City continue to push the boundaries with Tombstone Slaughter and Duck Hunters. Tombstone Slaughter, the latest sequel in the Tombstone series, is a 6-reel slot featuring xNudge® Wilds, Revolver-triggered Cylinder features, Slaughter and Massacre Spins that include El Gordo’s revenge meter that awards unique multipliers and free spins, and a massive max payout of 500,000x the base bet. Duck Hunter features cluster pays, cascading reels, xWays®, Infectious xWays®, Exploding Bombs, and bonus-triggered upgrades in Duck Hunt, Hawk Eye and Big Game Spins.

Big Time Gaming, the creators of Megaways, unveil Max Megaways 3 and Big Bucks Deluxe. In Max Megaways 3, Join Max on his latest high-stakes mission where the Megadozer delivers Bonus Coins and Free Spins features two doors to choose from. Meanwhile, Big Bucks Deluxe introduces the all-new Megapots mechanic, along with unlimited multipliers in Free Spins and the Hold and Spin.

Finally, for the first time ever, Livespins will be streaming live from the Evolution Group stand and showing operators how to socially charge their gaming experiences with interactive and community-driven play.

Todd Haushalter, Evolution’s Chief Product Officer, said: “Yet again, our licensees can look forward to the very best of online gaming from our Group roadmap for 2025. First stop on the journey is ICE, in its new home of Barcelona, where visitors can preview so many of these new games and hear the stories behind them. Our lead live title, Ice Fishing, is loaded with little and big surprises and is unlike any live game show we have ever created. Aside from live, of course, we have a host of equally exciting new titles in RNG and slots. In short, we have another mega year in store, and we cannot wait to share it all with customers old and new on stand #2D20 at ICE Barcelona.”
