SimCity BuildIt is rolling out a significant update to commemorate its tenth anniversary. If you're thinking, "Is this just another special building? How dull," you're partially correct. However, few would have anticipated SimCity BuildIt celebrating by venturing into space!
Let's set realistic expectations. You won't be building colonies in orbit, but you will gain access to new space-themed specializations to enhance your city. Starting from level 40 onward, you can unlock structures like the Space HQ, Astronaut Training Center, and Launchpad. This highly requested feature gives dedicated SimCity fans fresh goals to pursue.
That's not all. The new Mayor's Pass season, Memory Lane, lets you revisit history by unlocking popular buildings from previous seasons. You'll also notice refreshed visuals and graphical improvements, plus a holiday-themed event running from December 25th to January 7th as winter sets in.
Simply SimsationalI must admit, it's impressive that SimCity BuildIt has maintained such longevity. Launched during what many consider a challenging period for The Sims franchise under EA, the game has not only endured but continues to introduce new content.
