SimCity release date confirmed

Today, EA confirmed that SimCity will be available in stores on March 8, 2013. Finally! We have been waiting years for this game.

If you are a fan of the SimCity franchise you don’t need me to tell you how exciting this release is. If you have never played a SimCity game before then you had better get excited, quick. In fact head down to your local game store bargain bin to dig up a previous SimCity game and give it a try, its the pinnacle in management/tycoon style gameplay.

SimCity is the ultimate city building simulation game, offering both veteran fans and new players a fun, dynamic experience, underpinned by GlassBox, the most complex simulation engine in its class.

Here is what you can look forward to in the all new SimCity on March 8th 2013:

For more than two decades, the king of city-building simulators has sworn in millions of virtual mayors from around the world. With its return on March 8 2013, SimCity will engage an entirely new generation of gamers as they take charge of their own customized cities.

This is a new SimCity that offers a deeper, richer game than ever before.  It has been built from the ground up to be an online connected experience, with the new GlassBox engine driving the most authentic simulation ever seen.  It has a model-like look and feel that makes players want  to reach in, poke, prod, and tinker around. Maxis has put the simulation right in front of the player so that they can see the consequences of their actions and really dig in to see how the systems work.

Finally, for the first time in SimCity franchise history, SimCity introduces multicity play, which brings a new dimension as players’ decisions not only affect their city, but have a ripple effect across the entire SimCity World.
