We recently reported that social game juggernaut Zynga (FarmVille, CityVille, YoVille) had registered a number of new web domains not too long ago, all of which contained some sort reference to the title "ForestVille."

Today, Zynga has released ForestVille for the iPhone and iPad.

ForestVille--which is already available via iTunes for free--is described as "a magical forest where players can build homes for a cast of colorful animals, create businesses, place fun decorations, and connect with their friends." Players will meet new animals in the forest, and discover new landmarks as they build their forest domains.

As with other Zynga titles, the game is free-to-play, but features the ubiquitous optional micro-transactional model that allows players to purchase special in-game currency for real-world money.
