SimCity: Cities of Tomorrow expansion
- Cities of Tomorrow, SimCity's first expansion, was announced for 12 November 2013 on Mac and PC[3]
- EA announced on 12 November 2013 that the expansion was available for PC and Mac at North American retail stores and as a download on Origin, rated E10+ by the ESRB; it requires the SimCity base game[1]
- It follows the March 2013 SimCity reboot from Maxis and EA, whose launch was marred by always-online server outages; the Mac version arrived in August 2013[2][3]
Notable features
- An expansion pack for Maxis' city-building simulation SimCity; base game and expansion are cross-platform on the same servers, and owners can play in a region with non-owners and pass them futurization benefits[1]
- It takes players about 50 years into the future, with cities powered by fusion reactors and tidal wave generators, and lets them build MegaTowers and manufacture drones[3]
- MegaTowers are built floor by floor, each floor residential, commercial or a service such as schools, security, power or entertainment, providing jobs, services or housing for hundreds of Sims at once[2]
- Two new specializations set clean technology against profit: The Academy, a research centre whose ControlNet signal powers its structures, and OmegaCo, factories that turn crude oil and ore into the commodity Omega while polluting and draining natural resources[1][2]
- Futurization restyles the buildings, roads and services around futuristic buildings, and the pack adds an all-new disaster exclusive to the expansion[1][2]
