Games for Windows mag previews SimCity 5?

Posted Jun 4, 2007 at 6:57PM by QJ Staff Listed in: Rumors, Genre, Scans Tags: Electronic Arts, Maxis

How's your megalomania been for the past few months, eh? Satiated? Well, we all want to be godly every once in a while - oversee the populace, create buildings, run the place, and all that jazz. Now, you just might get a healthy dose of it soon... IF this rumor turns out to be true.

Surfacing in the NeoGaf forums is a scan of the latest magazine issue of "Games for Windows" and splashed across the front cover is a supposed SimCity. Looks like the simulation franchise is getting a fifth installment from Maxis.

Now, this here scan is a bit iffy. We started scrounging up the net for any more updates on this, but it seems as if no one knows where the scan came from - no one even knows if it's the latest/current issue or a coming issue for next month. To make things worse, the scan isn't much of a scan but more of... a thumbnail. Yep, the biggest size of the pic is what you see on your right - making it harder to confirm other details on the cover.

We're taking this with a godly-sized grain of salt. But for what it's worth, Electronic Arts did confirm some time back that a new SimCity game was being developed.

This story sucks? This story rocks!
