EA Play today announced that The Sims 3 World Adventures is in development and will ship to retailers worldwide the week of November 16, 2009. This will be the first expansion pack to the #1 best-selling PC and MAC game in June 2009.
“We’re thrilled with the global success of The Sims 3 over these last few months and are looking forward to expanding on the gameplay experience with one of the most robust expansion packs to The Sims yet,” said Scott Evans, General Manager of The Sims at EA.
Players can take their Sims on new journeys outside outside of Sunset Valley and Riverview to famous real-world inspired destinations. They range from mastering martial arts in Shang Simla, China, discovering rich culture and famous landmarks in Champs Les Sims, France or exploring the depths of ancient tombs in Al Simhara, Egypt. Players can accept challenges to search for secret treasures, learn new skills and chase down new personal opportunities, meet new Sims with unique personalities, share their culture and bring them home, discover new styles on their travels, and share everything they encounter on their adventures with the world through personal photographs, movies, and stories.
Plus players will receive 1,000 SimPoints to be used online in The Sims 3 Store for the PC/MAC versions of the game. Exclusive online content, available only for the expansion pack at launch, will be revealed soon.
