Earlier today an expansion for the latest installment in the SimCity series was announced, SimCity: Cities of Tomorrow. The expansion, which releases on November 12th will allow gamers to construct their cities as if the materials and resources available were as they will be 50 years from now.
Players have the option of building a clean, energy efficient, futuristic Utopian, or a corporate ruled, fast food ridden wasteland of consumerism and gluttony. Or whatever they want in between.
As of now, we are unsure of exactly what resources and structures will be available for city planners, but we do know that there will be more potential for creativity with SimCity: Cities of Tomorrow than displayed in any game so far.
Reviews for SimCity 2013, the game upon which Cities of Tomorrow will expand were overall lackluster, earning an aggregate score of 64/100 from Metacritic. Hopefully Cities of Tomorrow will pull the franchise a few rungs up the ladder.
Check out the announcement trailer and stay tuned to Gamingbolt for more updates as they are released.
