The Sims 5 aka Project Rene finally formalized
EA is finally ready to turn the page. After eight years of good and faithful service, The Sims 4 is free-to-play to better prepare the ground for the sequel. The publisher obviously wants to grab a few dollars here and there by offering additional expansions until the release of The Sims 5. And the very game that fans have been waiting for has finally been announced at the Behind the Sims Summit. It’s only half a surprise since Jeff Grubb went there with his testimony, but Maxis wasn’t lying: there was indeed a surprise at stake. The next installment, also known as Project Rene.
Few details have been revealed other than that The Sims 5 will be connected between multiple devices. For example, you can start building a house on PC or consoles and then continue on mobile. The title aims to offer more flexibility in the mechanics of customization and restriction that players are so passionate about. The color, the texture, everything can be changed at will and with advanced possibilities. If EA didn’t go into details, the community part should be improved as well. The gallery sharing options actually seem to take it a step further by allowing players to share decoration sets at the same time. Unfortunately we’ll just have to settle for that, Maxis promises to provide more details as the project progresses. In other words, The Sims 4 still has a bright future ahead of it. The Sims 5 has not been expected “for years”.
