EA unveils 'MySims Kingdom' on Wii and DS

Electronic Arts has announced first details of a new title in its best-selling MySims series, exclusively for Nintendo DS and Wii.

MySims Kingdom, which will feature key differences between the two platforms, sees the player help King Roland and his subjects to revitalize the Kingdom.

On Wii "new characters, lands, and clever new contraptions will be revealed. Construct and do everything from tending your pigs to finding treasure chests. Newly-added building options will help you accomplish the tasks you’re challenged with along the way, including building broken bridges."

"In true MySims fashion, everything is customisable, allowing every creation within your world to have a signature look," claims EA.

On DS, the game "adds a new chapter to the saga, challenging you to help the King thwart the plans of evil in a far flung corner of the Kingdom. Many new activities and mini-games are included to help you persuade the King that your island is the ultimate royal destination."

Since its launch, the original MySims on Wii and DS has sold 2.8 million copies worldwide.

MySims Kingdom is scheduled for release this autumn.
