The Sims going back in time?

MCV Staff 1st June 2010 Business News

Expansion packs for The Sims have proved a highly lucrative business for publisher EA in the past, and a host of new URL registrations point to a possible new direction for the series in the future.

As spotted by Superannuation, the likes of simsmedieval.com and thesimsgetmedieval.com suggest that a future release in the series – be it an expansion or possibly even a standalone title – look to for the first time remove it from its present day setting.

EA has previously released a wide variety of additions to both The Sims 2 and The Sims 3, including the likes of University, Nightlife, Open for Business (shop keeping), Pets, Seasons, Bon Voyage (holidays) and World Adventures.

The addition of a historical expansion would be a series’ first, but it’s easy to imagination the market appeal.

[Industry news] Core Keeper’s ancient Core becomes a one of a kind gaming PC, to be won for charity

More than 4 million people have played Core Keeper, and every one of them started the same way, waking in a dark cavern beside an ancient Core that has lain dormant for aeons. Pugstorm and Fireshine Games, the game's developer and publisher, have now worked with Scan to build that Core into a real gaming PC. It is one of a kind, and it is the prize in the Global Games Draw, a new prize draw for Into Games, a UK charity that helps young people from working class backgrounds into careers in games. Every entry raises money for that work.
