SimCity out March 5 in N. America, March 8 in Europe
Maxis' original city-building game's release date slips a month
SimCity, the reboot of the city-building game that kicked off the Sim craze, has a new release date of March 5, 2013 in North America and March 8 in Europe. The new dates announced on the game's Twitter today fall not too far after the original February 2013 goal.
The PC game, which continues the draw-and-stamp design of the classic original SimCity and SimCity 2000, also further emphasizes individual citizens instead of just the buildings they live in--kind of like that SimsVille game that got cancelled forever ago. It will be the first new main entry in Maxis' former flagship series since 2003's SimCity 4.

I got a BA in journalism from Central Michigan University - though the best education I received there was from CM Life, its student-run newspaper. Long before that, I started pursuing my degree in video games by bugging my older brother to let me play Zelda on the Super Nintendo. I've previously been a news intern for GameSpot, a news writer for CVG, and now I'm a staff writer here at GamesRadar.
