Aspyr Game Development Report--Two New Mac Games, Sims 2: Pets and Civ 4: Warlords, Coming in Early November

In the latest game development report, Aspyr Studios noted that it recently wrapped up development of Sims 2 Pets for Mac, the latest Sims 2 expansion. The Mac version of Sims 2 Pets for Mac will ship soon, within a couple weeks of the PC version.

According to Amazon.com, Sims 2: Pets for Mac will ship November 1st.

Work on the Warlords addition to the Civ IV franchise is also being finished up. According to Aspyr, it's a great expansion for what has been their best selling Mac game of 2006, Civilization IV. Warlords adds new scenarios, new civilizations and more to the game. They've also spent the time while working on Warlords to continue to polish the Civ IV Mac base game, and are working on future updates that will add optimizations to Civ IV.

Warlords is expected to ship November 6th--see this Amazon.com Web page.

Both games are available for pre-order at this time. [Bill Fox]
