EA Announces MySims Kingdom for Wii and DS

EA have announced a new title in the MySims franchise, bringing classic storytelling to the Wii and DS.

The idea behind Kingdom sees players helping out the poor King Roland and his faithful subjects restore peace to their land. Players will be able to construct their castle, tend to their pigs, meet and greet folk and even search for lost treasure. We start in the centre of the story, The Capital, seeing King Roland, Princess Butter and the mysterious Wizard Marlon.

Whilst both the Wii and DS versions see building and character interaction within the regions of the Kingdom, the DS outing has an additional chapter seeing players help the King thwart evil plans through action and mini-games.

MySims has been met with such enthusiasm by players and families everywhere, we are excited to make MySims its own franchise within The Sims Label. MySims Kingdom has players helping King Roland and his subjects make the MySims world a better place by completing rewarding quests, building houses, bridges or even making contraptions powered by electricity or water. And MySims Kingdom on Nintendo DS, adds many new activities such as kayaking, ski jumping, populating the town zoo and many others!

MySims Kingdom is due release in North America, Europe and Japan in Fall of 2008.
