SimCity BuildIt lets you build cities from your phone

Electronic Arts announced today SimCity BuildIt, a take on the SimCity franchise which lets players build, craft and create cities from their iOS and Android devices.

According to the publisher, the game — which is coming soon to the App Store and Google Play — will let players design cities "on the go."

"The choices you make evolve your city in a variety of ways. Meet your citisens' needs to keep them happy, or make questionable choices and feel your citisens' wrath," reads a statement from the company.

"Pinch, zoom, and rotate 360 degrees as you manage your city in the palm of your hand. With countless buildings and vivid, 3D-quality graphics, it's the most advanced mobile building simulation game."

No release date has been announced just yet, but you can get a glimpse of the game above and below.
