EA reveals SimCity Social for Facebook

Twenty-three years after it established the city-building genre in the video game industry, the SimCity franchise is coming to Facebook with SimCity Social. Electronic Arts announced the title today during its E3 press conference.

SimCity Social is being co-developed by EA Playfish and EA subsidiary Maxis. The game will feature the same core gameplay of SimCity, which is a management sim where players are cast as the mayor of a newly-established town. Players are encouraged to build their cities in an open, nonlinear manner and have to deal with issues like rising crime rates, demand for different types of properties and making sure the city has enough power to keep everyone’s lights on.
