SimCity Social launches

EA has announced the launch of SimCity Social on Facebook.

The game will allow you to interact with friends as you build your city.

It will be free-to-play but you’ll be restricted to a set number of ‘actions’ unless you pay with real money.

Vice president of Global Studios for Playfish, Jami Laes, said: “SimCity social will entice a new generation of urban planners with its easy-to-use tools that allow anyone to expand and grow their own unique sprawling metropolises and watch as it comes to life in fun and unexpected ways.

“SimCity Social is about playing with your friends. Whether you do that with kindness by helping put out a fire or through mischievous acts like helping a criminal escape, the decision you make with your friends will determine how the story of your cities plays out.”

The next PC version of SimCity will be released February 2013. Check out our developer interview by clicking here.
