Electronic Arts soft-launches SimCity BuildIt building simulation game on iOS

October 24, 2014

Electronics Arts (EA) has just soft-launched SimCity BuildIt on the App Store in select countries.

Announced last month, SimCity BuildIt is a new free-to-play iOS game based on the popular SimCity open-ended city-building game franchise. Touted by EA as “the most advanced mobile building simulation game,” the game has you building the city of your dreams and catering to the needs of your citizens.

SimCity BuildIt has the following key features:

  • SimCity, reimagined for a new generation of mobile players
  • Solve real city problems like traffic, fires and pollution
  • Add basic city services, including water and electricity to keep your citizen happy and your city growing
  • Specialize your city with iconic landmarks, casinos, and more!
  • Create and trade resources with friends and other cities
  • Unleash natural (and not so natural) disasters
  • Explore your 3D city from all angles with 360° controls
  • Watch your city come to life – night and day!

Compatible with iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad running iOS 7.0 or later, SimCity BuildIt is available now in soft-launch mode on the App Store in Australia, Canada, and New Zealand.

We’ll let you know as soon as the game becomes officially available worldwide.

SimCity signifies the re-emergence of the SimCity franchise on the App Store, following the discontinuation of SimCity for iOS, SimCity Deluxe for iPhone, and SimCity Deluxe for iPad.

There is, however, The Sims FreePlay, the free-to-play iOS spinoff of The Sims, which itself is a spinoff of SimCity.
