FarmVille Sneak Peek: Skunk & Chicken Turkey

It's time for yet another FarmVille sneak peek, brought to you by the release of as-of-yet unreleased items in Zynga's massive farming game. This time around, we have images of some new animals that may or may not be coming to FarmVille in the future.

The first is the Skunk, which we actually feel comfortably saying is extremely adorable (as it's virtual and all). The other animal is one that we're most certain will actually be released in the game, as it would fit in perfectly with the upcoming Thanksgiving celebration in the game.

It is the Chicken Turkey, and while that may not be the final name of the item, it does get the point across, as it's a Turkey that has dressed itself up partially as a Chicken, most likely to avoid getting placed onto someone's dinner table this Thanksgiving! Poor little fella!

As with all unreleased items, there is no guarantee that either of these animals will actually make it into the game, so keep that in mind.

FarmVille Sneak Peek: Candy Cane Crop

Similar to the release of Candy Corn back during the Halloween celebration in FarmVille, it appears that Zynga will be honoring another candy tradition in the form of Candy Canes this Christmas.

We've seen images of the new Candy Cane crop, including its Mastery Stall, Market Bushel, and Mastery Sign, all of which you can see above.

It's interesting that we see a Market Bushel image being created for the Candy Canes, as limited edition crops rarely produce bushels, so it seems a bit unneeded. Could this be a hint that things are going to change in this area? Only time will tell, but this certainly would help those users that want to earn the Mastery Sign associated with the crop, as we would be able to do so twice as fast.

As usual, there is no guarantee that that the Candy Cane Crop will actually be released in the game (although it is incredibly likely that it will), so keep that in mind.

FarmVille Sneak Peek: Cleveland Bay Horse, Juniper, European Beech Trees

We know you're split down the middle on posting unreleased content, but frankly, spoilers don't bother us. Besides, it's not like FarmVille is Days of Our Lives, people. So, FarmVille Feed has found three new pieces on content set to make it to FarmVille "soon." The first is a Cleveland Bay Horse, a brown, stern-looking steed with determination. Oddly enough, it reigns from England and the Cleveland district of Yorkshire. Join us after the break for a look at two fine firs.
Juniper Tree and European Beech Tree
OK, so they're not firs, but rhymes are cute, no? The first, a Juniper Tree, originates largely across the Northern Hemisphere in regions from the Arctic to Africa to Central America. Second is the European Beech, a deciduous tree reigning largely in--you guessed it--Europe. Prices, of course, are unknown, but these items will likely launch this week if they're being revealed now. FarmVille Feed also guess that the items will cost between five and 10 Farm Cash and that the trees will eventually become Mystery Seedlings. Here's for hopin' on the latter.

What do you think of these three new additions to the game? Which of the three would you buy first, and why?

FarmVille Sneak Peek: Pet Run Habitat and goals coming soon

With the launch of the Wildlife Habitat in FarmVille, we were told that the building was just the first of many that would be released in the future, allowing us to store all sorts of animals and breed them for new ones. While information about those future buildings was never announced, it looks like FarmVille Freak may have just found one of them anyway: the Pet Run Habitat.

There will apparently be a six-part goal series that will launch alongside the Pet Run Habitat, with the building itself looking to hold items like rabbits, cats and (apparently) other docile creatures. Along with this six part goal set, there are two new rabbits that will likely be given away either as rewards from these goals, or as Mystery Babies when harvesting a full Pet Run Habitat. These animals are the Seal Point Rabbit and the plain Black Rabbit.

Of course, all of the specific details about this new building and breeding habitat are unknown, but we'll make sure to let you know as soon as this building launches (potentially as early as tomorrow night), so keep checking back with us!

What do you think of the Pet Run Habitat? What other animals do you want to see storage and breeding buildings released for?

FarmVille Sneak Peek: Apple Bobbing feature coming soon?

With the fall season now upon us, it looks like Zynga will be releasing a new feature in FarmVille concerning a Fall staple at carnivals and parties: Apple Bobbing. Via a new Apple Bobbing Stand, seen in the banner above, along with at least five goals, we'll be able to apparently bring the chaotic fun of apple bobbing to our farms.

While the exact function of the Apple Bobbing Stand or even the accompanying goals has yet to be announced, there's always room for speculation. With the bag of Apples that we see above, it looks like the Apples themselves might be collectibles of some kind. Could this be the return of the token-collecting feature that sees us collecting dozens, if not hundreds of apples to redeem them for special fall-themed prizes?

Or, perhaps these goals will simply function as a way to reward us with this Apple Bobbing Stand, which will animate in some way (or serve some other purpose beside being purely decorative) to make it worthwhile. Whatever the case, it has this farmer incredibly interested in learning more, and if you're the same, make sure to keep checking back with us as we'll bring you all of the info about this supposed Apple Bobbing feature as soon as we know more.

Note: This is an unreleased feature, which may change before release or may never release at all (granted, that final option is incredibly unlikely).

Are you excited for Apple Bobbing to come to FarmVille, no matter its form? What do you think the Apple Bobbing goals will contain? Speculate with us in the comments!

FarmVille Sneak Peek: Giant Jack-O'-Lantern collection event coming for Halloween?

My, my is Zynga ever predictable. It looks like a third Jack-O'-Lantern collection event will be coming to FarmVille to celebrate Halloween this year, asking users to collect pieces of candy or other themed items (called "Treats") in order to trade them in for collectible items inside a new "Giant Jack-O'-Lantern."

If the menu below is anything to go by, then FarmVilleFreak has discovered that the menu will allow us to not only collect Treats to fill a meter (as we're used to), but we might also be able to purchase the prizes themselves directly from the menu, if asking for Treats is too time-consuming for your liking (this could also just be a link to purchase Treats in bulk). Either way, keep in mind that some of the text in this window is a placeholder, as we'll of course be able to redeem our Treats for themed items, and not just six different "Purple Valentine Cows." Still, this gives us something to look forward to in the long run, as we know we'll be able to interact with friends to earn as many Treats possible within the few weeks that will likely be available to do so.

As for the Treats themselves, it looks like we'll be able to collect Candy Corn, wrapped pieces of Candy and perhaps even small Jack-O'-Lanterns to fill our Giant Jack-O'-Lantern to the brim. It would be great to see a return of the Haunted House as well, giving us free Candy daily, but a new item released for the same purpose also wouldn't be an entirely bad thing.


We'll make sure to keep an eye on all of the Halloween festivities in FarmVille, and will make sure you're the first to know when this Giant Jack-O'-Lantern (or Halloween collection event in general) kicks off in the game.
