SimCity BuildIt is gearing up to celebrate its tenth anniversary with a major update that's out of this world! You might be thinking, "Oh, just another special building? Yawn." But hold on tight, because SimCity BuildIt is launching into space—or at least, as close as you can get without leaving your city limits.

Starting at level 40, you'll unlock the new space specialisation, bringing futuristic structures like the Space HQ, Astronaut Training Center, and Launchpad to your urban landscape. This highly anticipated feature is a dream come true for diehard SimCity fans looking for something fresh and exciting to aim for.

But the excitement doesn't stop there. The new Mayor's Pass season, Memory Lane, lets you take a nostalgic journey back in time. You'll unlock some of the most beloved buildings from past seasons, making it easier than ever to relive those cherished moments. Plus, the game is getting a visual facelift with refreshed graphics and upgrades, ensuring your city looks better than ever. And don't forget the festive holiday event from December 25th to January 7th, adding a seasonal touch to your celebrations.

I have to admit, I'm genuinely impressed by SimCity BuildIt's longevity. Launched during what many consider a low point for the Sims franchise under EA, it has not only endured but thrived, continually adding new features to keep players engaged. For loyal fans, the space specialisation and visual upgrades are a fitting tribute to your dedication.
