Cities XL, a brand new gaming take on the city-building gerne

CITIES XL™ is a brand new game which takes on the city-building genre in a fashion similar to Sim City. CITIES XL™, according to Monte Cristo, the developing team behind the title, will expand upon all the features that make city builders fun - such as shaping cities, managing the economy and caring for the needs of city inhabitants. Players can also take their game online and interact with thousands of others on massive persistent planets.


CITIES XL is scheduled for release first quarter of 2009 with online play based around the development of a new planet allowing community members to: a) build cities in a virtual world populated by other subscribers, allowing the creation of a living online community b) trade with others, specialize a city in specific activities such as tourism, entertainment, business development, recycling management and more c) visit other cities and host events for others to attend and enjoy d) cooperatively create a booming metropolis teeming with life and businesses e) participate in competitions and enjoy a calendar of events that will keep you coming back to your planet f) share your in-game experience with friends through a companion community website.
