Draw Something 2 has been announced on Twitter, by celebrity Ryan Seacrest. Draw Something was a huge hit in Spring 2012, but its popularity dropped off after it was bought by Farmville and Words with Friends developer Zynga.
Ryan Seacrest has tweeted a number of Draw Something 2 images featuring caricatures of celebrities like Nicki Minaj and Mariah Carey. From these pictures it seems that Draw Something 2 is going to add effects and backgrounds to your works of art.
I somehow convinced them to give me #DrawSomething2 first…this may be the best Mariah & Randy have ever looked twitter.com/RyanSeacrest/s…

The pictures have a strangely professional look to them – they are not nearly as endearing or funny as what we usually saw while playing the first game.
Seacrest is developing a TV gameshow based on the franchise, so it’s not a huge surprise he has announced this news. So far there is no release date or concrete details about how it will change.
Few viral mobile games maintain their momentum, and it may be too late for Draw Something 2. Angry Birds and Temple Run kept going with much faster development and iteration, while Draw Something really has to catch people’s attention again, which is not easy to do.
