Okay, last 2K
Games announcement. We promise. Anywho, the publisher has
announced a new city building game called CivCity: Rome. In it,
players will be charged with the task of building up the ancient city of
Rome from a tiny hutted village, to a sprawling metropolis of antiquity.
"Firefly
Studios has always been at the forefront of the city building strategy
genre," said Christoph Hartmann, Managing Director of 2K Games.
"The unprecedented collaboration between Firaxis and Firefly
Studios will allow gamers to see the world of ancient Rome unfold before
their eyes."
"We're
very excited to be teaming up with the talented folks at Firefly,"
said Steve Martin, President of Firaxis Games. "The teams at
Firefly and Firaxis have worked hard to ensure that CivCity: Rome has
the same depth and quality that gamers have come to expect from a
Firaxis title."
"Firefly
has a long history with the city building genre," added Simon
Bradbury, Director at Firefly Studios. "CivCity: Rome is our latest
take on the theme, and with the influence of Civilization, it's certain
to be the best yet."
