New SimCity, Set for 2013

If anybody has participated in the Future Cities program in middle school, they might remember the simulation they used to base their city creations off of: SimCity (of various versions I'd assume)

EA seems rather ambitious of the new game, stating:

"(it's) a true rebirth of the franchise that brings the depth of simulation that has been the series hallmark for more than two decades and marries it with next generation accessibility and a robust multiplayer mode, giving players the power to change a world together."

With the last true SimCity game being released nine years ago, it's safe to say that it has been quite a wait for the fans of the series, but Maxis and EA have teamed up once again to develop a new installment to the series, simply named SimCity. Not many details have been released on the game so far, but out of what is currently known, the game runs on a new engine deemed "Glassbox Engine".

A video showing off the new engine can be found here:
SimCity is set to be released sometime in 2013.
