Electronic Arts has announced that Tilted Mill Entertainment is developing SimCity Societies, the next installment in the SimCity series, scheduled to hit the store shelves this holiday season. Featuring an all-new, revolutionary feature set, SimCity Societies allows players to construct not only the cities they desire, but create their cultures, societal behaviors and environments as well. The game will feature more than 350 building types, a wide range of architectural periods ranging from the realistic to the fanciful, from the industrial age to futuristic designs, with each structure reflecting its name and nature. SimCity Societies will also introduce an all-new, revolutionary feature set for players to combine buildings that will produce or consume new kinds of resources called "social energies". How you mix and match these resources - industry, wealth, obedience, knowledge, devotion, or creativity - determines the social energy of your city.
