EA’s all new SimCity game, set for release in 2013, will require an always on internet connection in order to play, EA has told Joystiq.

The EA rep says the connection is required because of the game’s emphasis on multiplayer and the global economy that all players will influence.

In addition, EA revealed the game will be sold digitally on stores other than Origin, although specifics weren’t revealed.
