The SimCity franchise is making a comeback, but it may not exactly be what fans expect. News of SimCity: Societies broke yesterday from Games for Windows Magazine, but as further details trickle out, it appears we’re in for something quite unlike the original SimCity games.
For one, the game won’t be developed at Maxis at all, leaving any hope of Sid Meier’s heavy involvement squashed. Instead, Tilted Mill Entertainment will handle its development, creators of Children of the Nile and Caesar IV. Both games use a top-down perspective and SimCity-like interface, so there’s even a possibility we’ll see the newest incarnation borrow an engine.
