Electronic Arts announced that they are launching The Sims Social open beta on Tencent’s open platform Qzone in China. They’re testing the game right now in China, where its name is Mo Ni Shi Guang.
“The ‘no data wipe’ open beta for Mo Ni Shi Guang will save players’ in-game data and records to ensure that their progressions are maintained and up to date after the testing phase, when the game goes live,” details EA. “Mo Ni Shi Guang is in development at Playfish Beijing, a studio of Electronic Arts. The online game service builds on the franchise history of innovative game design and the fun of creating and living a simulated life, combined with new social play elements designed specifically for Chinese players.”
“Players can create their own Sims, design a dream house or pursue different professions, all with aesthetics adapted for Chinese consumers,” EA added. “The game offers localized images, furniture, clothing and skills designed specifically for Tencent open platform Qzone. The social interaction within Mo Ni Shi Guang give players a chance to invite their QQ friends to join the game, develop friendships and relationships, and play together for good or for mischief. Players can also share their game through the Tencent Qzone social network for a broad and true social gaming experience.”
