Boldly Go Where No Sims Have Gone Before!
REDWOOD CITY, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Dust off that trusty Time Almanac and leap through the Time Portal into
the future to find adventure! Electronic Arts Inc., (NASDAQ: EA) today
announced that The Sims™ 3 Into the Future Expansion Pack*
for PC/Mac® is now available at retailers across North America and on Origin.com.
The Sims 3 Into the Future is the first time in the history of
the franchise that Sims have broken through the space and time continuum
to enter a new land to meet their descendants, play with technologies of
tomorrow, and change the destiny of their entire world.
"Our fans have been asking to take their Sims to the future for quite
some time and we're delivering that all-new experience with the world of
Oasis Landing in The Sims 3 Into the Future," said Kari St. John,
Senior Producer for The Sims 3 Into the Future. "Sims will eat,
sleep, shower, and even WooHoo in new ways thanks to the advancements in
future technology. With new creative tools like Create-A-Plumbot to
customize unique Plumbots with traits of their very own and the ability
to affect the outcome of the future based off the Sim's present day
actions, we can't wait to see what kind of stories our fans will tell."
Set against the backdrop of the new world of Oasis Landing, The Sims
3 Into the Future gives Sims an opportunity to discover new
adventures when they travel back and forth between the future and
present worlds. Leap far into the future to experience new technologies
such as wind carvers, dream pods, food synthesizers and more. Along with
the advanced future living, players will be able to customize and create
Plumbots to help them raise kids, cook meals and more. In a first for
the franchise, decisions made in the present world can alter the future
of Oasis Landing and change a Sim's legacy. Blaze a trail towards Utopia
and find a future filled with happy self-hugging Sims, or chart a
Dystopian course and lead Oasis Landing into a state of desolation.
Players will uncover new stories when they leap forward in time with The
Sims 3 Into the Future.
The Sims 3 Into the Future is rated T for Teen by the ESRB and is
available today on PC/Mac at retailers in North America and on Origin.com.
