New trailer accompanying announcement of SimCity 5

At the Game Developer’s Conference in San Francisco this week, there has been a huge new announcement of a new SimCity game, courtesy of both EA and Maxis.

Lucy Bradshaw, Maxis SVP, confirmed that next year, the PC is to get the new 3D installment. GlassBox, Maxis’ new engine, is the driving force behind this game.

It is a game that has been described as “a true rebirth of the franchise that brings the depth of simulation that has been the series hallmark for more than two decades and marries it with next generation accessibility and a robust multiplayer mode, giving players the power to change a world together”.
