The SimCity team opened up its doors to a very special guest this past week, SimCity series creator and industry luminary Will Wright. During his stay, he had the chance to poke, prod and tinker with the latest iteration of the franchise that he created over 24 years ago and to catch up with some of his old colleagues at the Maxis studio.

As part of his visit, Will sat down with Ocean Quigley, Creative Director of SimCity, to talk about the history of SimCity and the ways he was pleasantly surprised to see this new SimCity evolve his visions for the franchise.
