Capitalism II coming in December

Ubi Soft Entertainment has announced that it will launch Capitalism II this holiday season. The game is the sequel to the 1995 business simulation game Capitalism , and will be designed by the original game's creator, Trevor Chan--who is also responsible for the Seven Kingdoms real-time strategy games. The new game features a number of improvements, including two new campaigns, a custom mode that lets players define game parameters, and more than 60 product types to manufacture and sell.

Players will build and manage all aspects of their virtual business. They will build a headquarters for their company, promote their brand, and oversee investor relations, personnel training, and the hiring of management staff. The company can either develop its own technology or purchase it from another company, and players can expand their corporate empire by building a chain of retail stores, buying and selling real estate, and taking over the media. In addition, players get to build their own mansion. The game's multiplayer mode will support up to seven players over LAN and Internet connections.

Capitalism II is scheduled for release on December 11. For more information, take a look at our Capitalism of the original Capitalism.
