What was not mentioned was this The Sims 5And now a senior EA executive has revealed that there are no plans for it The Sims 5. This creates more than answers to the nature of the questions Rene's projectwhich many thought was supposed to be The Sims 5. Rather than creating a new game in the series and moving the series forward, EA's apparent strategy is to expand on what it already has, rather than retire active games.

with The Sims 4 providing a “fundamental” franchise experience; Rene's project It appears to be EA's first attempt at this development Sims Games, instead of being The Sims 5 The end that some imagined would be like this. However, for now, that's the only information EA has released about it Rene's project It offers a multiplayer experience, and something else. This raises questions about the nature of Rene's projectwhat kind of game it will be and what players expect from this experience. Although Rene's project It was not approved The Sims 5that lead role was what fans had come to expect.
Consequences of skipping The Sims 5
There will be a small playtest for it Rene's project In the fall of 2024, which is invitation only. The announcement of the beta hopefully means that EA will be ready to release more information about it Rene's project Information will be released soon Rene's project So far this will be a live, cross-platform, multiplayer experience. EA purpose for Rene's project For players and friends to meet, connect and share while building the world Sims. Some early customization has been shown for the builds, but EA has been very scarce about it Rene's project.
The news that The Sims 5 It does not represent a major change for Sims The right to vote Sims The formula has worked since its launch in 2000, and this change could make or break the series, especially with new competitors entering the life SIM market. The Sims 4 It has continued to sell well even ten years after its launch, and this is the decision to continue it as a base Sims Experience may come from selling it.
However, this could be a divisive decision, especially with the problems involved The Sims 4 They are based and cannot be fixed by updating. Some were hoping for a reboot The Sims 5 will take care of these issues, but now one has to hope that one of the Sims Spin-off games provide the gameplay experience they were looking for instead.
