EA is sending The Sims back in time to the dark ages -- wait, is it time for DarkSims already? The publisher has just announced The Sims Medieval, a new series for the PC and Mac that lets you "build up a medieval kingdom, controlling characters from all walks of life, from Kings and Queens, to Knights and Wizards, Blacksmiths and Bards." This is accomplished through a new addition to the series: quest-driven gameplay.
As you complete quests in The Sims Medieval, you'll be able to shape the kingdom as you see fit, and either expand it internally or through conquest. And with every new game, you'll create a hero with a variety of traits and the obligatory "fatal flaw." (Ours always forgets to wash his hands, for example.)
The Sims Medieval is currently slated to launch in Spring 2011. Head into the gallery below for the first screens.

I so hope giving the plague is available.
Having thousands of SIMS stand around and die from peeing on themselves doesn't carry the same impact.

Why not just make it an expansion to the Sims 3?

Let this be a fair warning for all other game developers who have ideas of assimilating into EA. Will Wright quit gaming before he was able to create a game. History will see this as a great tragedy. So who is with me on the idea of building a Hadrian wall around every EA building to keep them locked out of civilization?

Hang on, this makes it sound like an actual game, are they sure they want to move away from the dollhouse model?

I am actually VERY excited about this! I love Sims 3, and I love fantasy/ medieval! Oh and I love strategy and role play. I cannot wait for this one!
