EA Games and MAXIS have announced that there will be a limited opportunity to be involved in beta testing the next release of SIM CITY which is due in March of this year – the 5th in the US and the 8th in the UK.

The beta will run for the weekend of January 25th – 28th and was announced on twitter earlier today. Apparently the beta limited in scale and participants will be chosen at random. The link page if you are interested is http://www.simcity.com/en_US/beta/info though the server was having problems when we tried it.

If you do get to take part in this we would be very keen to hear from you. Otherwise we will all have to wait just a few more weeks!
