Apparently, the next big iteration of The Sims series is called Project Rene accustomed to It’s “The Sims 5.” However, this time, EA will continue to support and publish content for “The Sims 4” after the release of Project Rene, and the two games may even share content and progress in some way.
A catch-all blog detailing the future of The Sims franchise, including a live-action movie, shared some details about what Rene’s plan actually is, calling it an experience “focused on building meet-ups for friends.” , ways to connect” and share while playing together in a whole new world. ” In other words, this is a true multiplayer version of The Sims, but we already know that.
The real news comes from The Sims series general manager Kate Gorman, who described the situation as a shift in the franchise’s philosophy in an interview with Variety.
“The Sims 5 is not a replacement for The Sims 4,” Goldman said. “This means we’ll continue to bring the high-definition simulation experience and what people have come to expect from 5 – but it doesn’t mean we’ll make you start over, reset all your progress, and really feel what it’s like for you.” We will Lose all the awesomeness you put into 4.
This change is understandable, as The Sims 4 has been released roughly twice as long as the three previous mainline games, and has accumulated a large amount of DLC in the ten years since its release. Giving it all up would be a tough proposition and apparently they’ve decided not to.
“Historically, The Sims series started with The Sims 1, then The Sims 2, The Sims 3 and The Sims 4. They were seen as replacements for the previous products,” Gorman told Variety. “What we’re really working with the community on is this new era of The Sims. We’re not working on replacing previous projects; we’re just adding content to our universe. With this, you’re set.” We’ll see With more ways to experience The Sims on different platforms, different ways to play, cross-media, and so many wonderful products in this universe, we continue to support TS4 more than ever. , what we do next is a little different.
The precise meaning of all this is difficult to guess. But we actually know quite a bit about Project Rene already—it’s been lurking in the shadows for years while fans waited for some kind of big reveal. They’re still waiting, but people can sign up to playtest Project Rene in The Sims Lab here.
