Zynga New York general manager Dan Porter confirmed the news in a reply to Seacrest.
There's much at stake for Zynga. Zynga spent a reported $180 million to acquire Draw Something maker OMGPOP, where Porter was CEO, a year ago.
Last fall, Zynga wrote off about half of the purchase price, and in its most recent quarter, CFO Mark Vranesh said that spending by users who pay for extras in the drawing game had dropped.
But since then, Zynga has touted Draw Something's success. And Porter's New York studio is the only one the company is keeping open after a recent round of office closures.
And while FarmVille 2 has been a big success, sequels to Zynga's CityVille and Mafia Wars franchises were duds.
Here are the tweets:
