The Sims 5: Map of the game world leaked – will it be open world?

The new The Sims 5 is currently being developed under the working title “Project Rene” – and now the map of the open game world has apparently been leaked online.

It is known that Maxis is working on the new The Sims 5, which is being created under the code name Project Rene. However, since it was first presented to the public in October 2022, very little information has been released about the new life simulation. But now there is a very interesting leak about the game world of the title.

In one entry Reddit says user DzXAnt22, who leaks the (not yet finished) map in its current form from The Sims 5. Presumably through data mining from the current playtest version, a picture shows a city with its streets from a bird’s eye view. According to the leaker, this is a version of this city from an early build of Project Rene.

In the playtest version, the area of ​​the map marked in red should be playable; the other areas of the city are not yet accessible. Overall, the larger map should be modeled on the French metropolis of Paris; At least several areas can be brought into line with the layout of the French capital, according to DzXAnt22.

Due to the map is on Reddit It has been widely speculated that The Sims 5 will feature an open game world, but this has not yet been officially confirmed. On Imgur There are also some in-game images far away from the city map with further impressions of the map. Data mining could also be used to find UI elements for a travel mechanic, which you can use to visit different locations in the game.

The current part, The Sims 4, did not have an open game world, but its predecessor, The Sims 3, did. It is quite possible that Maxis will return to this with the fifth part.

The Sims 5 currently does not have a release date, but a developer update in January of this year stated that the game’s release was still years away.
