If there is one series of games that have made its impact known on consoles and PCs alike in recent years it is The Sims. The game that arguably started the mainstream adoption of simulated life is set to take its dedication to accurate recreations of human interaction into a fantasy realm of witches and wizardry. The Sims Medieval looks to take the formula that has made the franchise into a lasting success, and add a new layer of RPG quests, upgrading, and kingdom-building. According to the newest trailer, there won’t be any shortage of content when the game is released in March.
The first details we received concerning the series’s venture into fantasy had many fans scratching their heads, wondering how close the game would keep to its roots, and just how much of an impact the new quest systems would have on the already familiar gameplay.
There’s no shortage of fantasy RPGs with games like Fable 3 and World of Warcraft set to receive even more company when Dragon Age II and Elder Scrolls: Skyrim release next year. So what will make The Sims Medieval stand apart from the crowd?
According to the latest trailer, the sense of humor that has become a hallmark of the series will be taken to entirely new heights, and viewers may sense a distinct mixture of fantasy and Monty Python-style lampooning. Don’t take our word for it, check out the newest trailer for yourself:
- Executioner outfits for both male and female characters. Royal outfits suiting both King and Queens. Barbarian, Dark Magic, and Princess Throne Rooms are sure to please even the most diverse tastes.
