#SIMS 5 RELEASE DATE SERIES#

It could be that people are expecting to see something like The Sims 4 community online functions, which lets people share creations online in the game.Д®lectronic Arts CEO Andrew Wilson said in January 2020 that the next game in The Sims series could feature single-player and multiplayer elements. Multiplayer being added to The Sims is being discussed on the official Reddit site and, for the most part, has been met with indifference. The team is hard at work on the next generation of that experience.вЂќ I think thatвЂ™s one of our biggest opportunities with The SimsвЂ“ the social connection component that we need to bring to this brand and this franchise. вЂњAnd I think 20 years later, we learned a lot about how players interact, what motivates players, and how players can come together co-operatively, and so as you would imagine, as we think about the next generation of The Sims, itвЂ™s super important for us to have the best tools, the most flexibility, and for players to really expand on their creativity remix items and objects in the world. вЂњWe had The Sims Online that came out in 2002, which I canвЂ™t believe, andВ I think certainly we were ahead of our time. вЂњWe will build on the tools for people to play with life вЂ“ thatвЂ™s our brand, simulation вЂ“ and the idea for people to be able to play with life together,вЂќ she said. While speaking with Geoff Keighley at VentureBeat's GamesBeat Summit 2021, Chief Studios Officer at EA, Laura Miele, gave a roundabout confirmation that the вЂњnext generationвЂќ of the Sims franchise is in the works, with a seeming focus on the вЂњfertile groundвЂќ of social and online elements. It looks like EA has been teasing The Sims 5. This communal event, with its real-life artists and out-of-game TikTok hashtag, did certainly have elements of the social connection component that EA seems keen to lean into. It was in 2020 that Andrew Wilson mentioned elements of 'social interaction and competition' becoming 'part of the ongoing Sims experience in the years to come' and more recently EA's Laura Miele said EA wanted to 'build on the tools for people to play with life.together'. Though the event was something of a mixed bag, we can't help but wonder if it's a sign of things to come for The Sims franchise. There was even an in-game music festival as a part of this summer of events called Sims Sessions, where owning The Sims 4 was all that was required to join in the fun. Over the months of May, June and July in 2021, EA hosted a Summer of Sims, providing updates, events and a new expansion, Cottage Life, for The Sims 4. Sims Sessions - a sign of things to come? We imagine it could be EA Play Live 2022 before we hear more on the next generation of The Sims. Given the latest Sims 4 expansion, Cottage Living, has just released, closing out the Summer of Sims roadmap, this is perhaps not too surprising.Д®A also attended the all-digital Gamescom 2021 in August but the game wasn't present there, either. The Sims 4 was in development for over three years, so it makes sense that EA Maxis is continuing to maintain The Sims 4 in the meantime, making improvements to the game for those who have already spent their hard-earned cash on the base game, kits, game packs and expansions.Д®A held its EA Play Live 2021 showcase on July 22, but The Sims 5 didn't make an appearance as fans hoped. Unfortunately, this doesnвЂ™t bode particularly well for a Sims 5 release any time soon and weвЂ™ll probably be lucky to get our hands on it before 2023. The Sims 5 multiplayer rumors, news and moreДЇollowing the release of The Sims 4: Cottage Living expansion, EA Maxis hasn't revealed exactly what its future plans for The Sims 4 look like but the developer stated in a recent blog post that its roadmap 'continues to be focused on improving content that is in the gameвЂќ and didn't entirely dismiss the idea of future expansions that could involve 'werewolves, faeries, and zombies'. It's possible that if the game does go down an online multiplayer route as reports have suggested, we could see some more significant gameplay changes than previous releases. It will be interesting to see whether The Sims 5 adds a new dimension to the game, perhaps even being able to take direct, third-person control of your Sim as opposed to the overhead view of clicking and moving. Sims gameplay has remained relatively unchanged through its lifetime, with some new additions and quality of life updates thrown in from time to time.

You have daily needs and shifting emotions to take care of, which you complete and keep in check by doing certain actions such as eating and, of course, socializing with people as soon as they happen to pass by your home. In terms of gameplay, we can probably expect that The Sims 5 will play similarly to previous iterations, no matter what it ends up looking like.

There are currently no The Sims 5 trailers right now, so we can only speculate as to what the next generation of The Sims holds for us.
