Following today’s blog post, Variety.com published an article with Kate Gorman (EA’s vice president and general manager of “The Sims”) which confirms that “The Sims 5” as traditionally expected won’t be happening. The franchise is moving away from releasing numbered sequels like before.
Instead, they are focusing on “Project Rene,” which introduces a new multiplayer experience and more collaborative play – and that includes The Sims 4, “now a 10-year-old title and the longest-running installment in the franchise’s 25-year history, will continue to receive updates and paid expansions, most notably a multiplayer mode”.
They’ll continue supporting “The Sims 4” with expansions and updates while offering new tools like Creator Kits to enhance user-generated content without resetting players’ progress.
