SimCity Beta Coming Next Week
EA is giving would-be city planners an early look at its upcoming SimCity. The company tweeted that it will be holding a beta for the game next week, which will contain about an hour of gameplay.
While an hour may not be enough time to turn your burgeoning town into a smog-filled dystopian nightmare, you should at least be able to make your Sims miserable via constant gridlock and nighttime brownouts. Or you could take the boring approach and try to build up a place where your little people are happy. The choice is yours, even if only one of those choices is correct.
The beta will be taking place between January 25-28. You can register for it here.
For more information on the game, take a look at Joe's preview. The game is set for a March 5 release on PC.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
