Preview: Ubisoft Goes Fantasy City-Building with The Settlers

Last week, Ubisoft took a deeper step into the social realm by adding its own cross-promotion bar to the game Castle & Co. The bar is working great for us, as it helped find a new Ubisoft gem called The Settlers – My City, for Facebook. This spin on the venerable The Settlers strategy franchise feels mostly like a city-builder, which might cause some to groan in despair. But don’t be fooled.

The Settlers marks the latest sizeable intellectual property franchise to attempt to do something significant (game-wise) on Facebook — a trend we most recently saw with FIFA Superstars from Electronic Arts.
