Atari officially announced the development of [i]Tycoon City: New York[/i] this afternoon. With the ultimate goal of making it big in Manhattan, [i]Tycoon City: New York[/i] allows players to become moguls by making and customizing hordes of businesses famous landmarks. You won’t start off in the big time, however, as you’ll work your way up from practically nothing to running nightclubs, owning new restaurants, and staging concerts.

“Tycoon City: New York is a high quality, visually rich Tycoon title that truly brings the city that never sleeps to life by allowing players to create their very own versions of Manhattan and fulfill their fantasies of building a business empire in The Big Apple,” said John Billington, Senior Brand Manager for Atari, Inc. “Tycoon City: New York is a game that is easy to play, yet difficult to master, providing a multitude of strategic challenges and the fun of customizing New York City without requiring a degree in city planning.”

[i]Tycoon City: New York[/i] ships this holiday season for the PC.
