If you want to make the world a better place, take a look at yourself, and make time for a little play! Swing by CityVille, as the game is about to be more than building and zoning – starting this week, players will be able get closer to the King of Pop with a visit from Michael Jackson THE IMMORTAL World Tour by Cirque du Soleil.

Players over level six in CityVille can celebrate from now until November 25th Cirque du Soleil’s newest spectacle, a worldwide traveling arena event showcasing the legendary Michael Jackson’s creative world with a mix of visuals, dancing, music and fantasy. Players will work to unlock an exclusive tour video, earning rewards along the way to inspire them to sing, dance and even moonwalk.  And for the first time, players and fans who choose to purchase THE IMMORTAL album or tickets to Michael Jackson THE IMMORTAL World Tour will also get a special limited edition virtual good for their city.

The CityVille IMMORTAL celebration includes:

• You Are Not Alone: An avatar dressed as a chimpanzee pays homage to Michael’s friend Bubbles by keeping you company in your city.
• Rock with You: Collect rent from your properties and suddenly you may find yourself getting down with a synchronized gang of marching futuristic soldiers inspired by the performance of “They Don’t Care About Us” in Michael Jackson THE IMMORTAL World Tour.
• Don’t Stop Collecting Until You Get Enough: Collect themed-items straight from the show; a special hot air balloon, the Giving Tree, a soldier robot statue and more.
• I’ll be there: If your friends don’t help you, tell ‘em to beat it. Collect themed posters from other players, and grovel for virtual-goods, such as gloves, to complete the quests.
• Remember the Time: Once your Michael Jackson THE IMMORTAL World Tour stage is built and beautiful, unlock an exclusive video in-game from Michael Jackson The IMMORTAL World Tour by Cirque du Soleil.  While the Bubbles avatar and the quest ends on November 25th, the stage is here to stay in your city, as are the unique limited edition virtual items you earn along the way.
