As The Sims Project Rene switches to being "mobile-first," EA vaguely tease the series' "next evolution"

Darwin couldn't foretell this one

I deliberation arsenic agelong arsenic you marque a caller year's update station earlier the incredibly arbitrary day of January 13th, you're inactive capable to bash truthful without maine reasoning "come on, it's astir February", which is precisely what EA did with their caller years Sims update post. Perhaps reassuringly, aft connection came past twelvemonth of EA's concerning acquisition, the station opens by doubling down connected what the squad has antecedently said regarding staying committed to their values (those values including inclusivity is invited though I privation they'd beryllium much explicit astir who is being included). But the station also, benignant of, goes into what's adjacent for the series.

Top of the bid of value is perchance the information that Project Rene, i.e. not-Sims 5 with an accent connected multiplayer, is present being described arsenic a "mobile-first" game. The station is explicit astir it not being "the successor to The Sims 4," noting it is an "experience from immoderate aboriginal deep, azygous subordinate beingness simulation experience." But its aboriginal connected PC, oregon immoderate different platform, is present up successful the air.

One happening the station does marque wide is the studio's committedness to single-player games, adjacent if Project Rene is meant to beryllium much collaborative. "Single-player PC and console experiences volition ever beryllium a portion of our future, with much than fractional of our planetary improvement squad dedicated to The Sims 4 and the adjacent evolution," the station explains, though what astir that past bit, the adjacent evolution? "More quality successful the coming months!" Very helpful, thanks.

We already cognize there's not going to beryllium a Sims 5, astatine slightest past clip I checked anyway, truthful this improvement is constricted successful its potential. Perhaps a large refresh for The Sims 4? It surely could bash with one, fixed it's implicit a decennary aged now. We'll find retired successful those theoretically coming months!
