Electronic Arts is set to unleash the widely awaited Sim City 5 on the masses next week. With the game’s latest closed beta scheduled for this evening the publisher has released a brand new developer video featuring series creator Will Wright playing the latest city simulator. Joining Will is the lead designer on this franchise reboot.

Some of the great new features including in Sim City 5 are highlighted, in addition to Mr.Wright’s thoughts, in the new videos including the ability to zoom down into residences and capturing the thoughts of your citizens and zooming in when disasters occur.

Sim City 5 will be available on Windows PC on March 5th and despite the requirement for a constant internet connection, we’re sure the game will sell well.
