SimCity developer Maxis has shown off a detailed look at its second expansion for the sim-city building theme park, Cities of Tomorrow. Adding a number of various future-themed buildings to your catalogue, the new expansion is definitely looking to the future for all its ideas.

One of the key buildings being added in the new expansion is the Academy, a thinktank of sort that will harbor a team of scientists ready to create the future including scientists nuclear fusion reactors to an advanced sewage treatment plant so your city can safely guzzle down that once-polluted water filled with three-eyed fish.

It isn't just buildings that the expansion will be adding, with an all new disaster to keep you on your toes: a giant robot attack on your city. This giant robot will wreak havoc on your city in the only way a robot could, by stomping everything in its path.

All this and more can be found in the new developer walkthrough video, which you can check out below. Cities of Tomorrow is due to launch for PC and Mac via Origin on 12th November. Those looking out for hope of a offline mode may be in, with Maxis looking to implement a SimCity offline mode sometime soon (thanks EuroGamer).
