We all want a next-gen SimCity. SimCity 4 kicked so much ass, but its showing its age. SimCity Societies is pretty much non-existent in the series – we want a game that is developed by EA (specifically Maxis, but that will probably never happen). It’s worth noting that more domain names for SimCity has been dug up by one of our readers, Conrad. In an email, he shared with me that the following domains were reserved by EA back in 2007 (registered by CSC Corporate Domains who manages EA’s domains):
- SimCity Horizons – http://who.is/whois/simcityhorizons.com/
- SimCity New Horizons – http://who.is/whois/simcitynewhorizons.com/
- SimCity Of Your Dreams – http://who.is/whois/simcityofyourdreams.com/
- SimCity Unbound – http://who.is/whois/simcityunbound.com/
- SimCity Unlimited – http://who.is/whois/simcityunlimited.com/
Yes, there is even SimCity 5 – 9 that was reserved back in 2002 to keep the web addresses from being snatched up, but that story was covered long ago. Maybe one day we’ll see a true next-gen SimCity game, but in all honesty, I wouldn’t get my hopes up, especially over this. Thanks to Conrad for the tip!
There is a new SimCity coming next year for the PC. We still have to wait for ea to officially announce the game, but I do know that there is finally a true new simcity game coming soon. Can’t wait for it to come out.
and what are you sources for this?
@Simgirl – whatever it may be, chances are it’s just rumors at this point. No leads as if it is a work in progress. But keep your hopes high – I hope we can see one in 2011!
The source is from a survey I took a few months back about a new simcity game thats ea is currently working on. I can’t go into detail about whats going to be in the game but it does sound awesome.
Just fould another domain registered by CSC CORPORATE DOMAINS.
simcityfriend.com (http://who.is/whois/simcityfriend.com/)
This one was registered in September 2008 but was last updated only 3 days ago.
I think that something is going on here, mostly because of the simcity mobile apps that have come out. Why would EA just “throw away” the series and not make another version for PC when they have just made the REAL game in mobile form? I don’t know, but I’m thinking that that mobile app might be an advertising campaign for EA. Think: they come out with the mobile app, everyone who didn’t know about simcity does now and then they come out with a simcity 5 later. Just my theory,
