Zynga – you know, those folks behind the “[name]Ville” empire of games like FarmVille and CityVille – has revealed a new game: Empires & Allies. Here are a few details, along with screenshots and video.

According to Zynga, “Empires & Allies is strategy combat gone social think CityVille meets Risk.” The game will be set on a “sprawling multi-island game board”, where “familiar gameplay elements from popular Zynga titles” will be integrated with a “story-driven combat crusade”.

Empires & Allies will launch on Facebook on Wednesday, June 1st.
