Castleville crossed the 5 million active user threshold Sunday night, just six days after its release. By hitting that milestone, CastleVille's growth has outshined other recent introductions from the company, including FrontierVille, which got 2.6 million DAUs in its first six days and CityVille, which received 3.2 million.
The 5 million figure isn't the only stat to come out of CastleVille so far. Others include:
135,176,035 quests completed
4,594,750 expansions into the Gloom
23,845,983 beasties banished from the kingdom
182,360 Bubbly Grogs crafted
8,262,768 baby cows raised
CastleVille still has its work cut out for it, though. CityVille, which launched last November, hit 100 million users within 40 days. CityVille is still the most popular game on Facebook with 51 million daily active users, according to AppData.
The well-received launch of CastleVille couldn't have come at a better time for Zynga: The company is said to be planning to announce its IPO any day now. Sources say it's likely to happen between next week and the end of the year.
