Last year, during his quarterly assessment with investors, Electronic Arts literally destroyed the hopes and expectations of the players by confirming the cancellation of the Sims 5. While the game had been announced under the code name « Project Rene »the American publisher went back and confirmed that The Sims 5 were not More in the plans And that in place, the company was going to capitalize on The Sims 4 and make Project Renean ambitious multiplayer project.
Almost a year later, while we are in the year 25 of the Sims, the pill is still struggling to pass. Unfortunately, in case some fans are still in denial or filled with hopes, Electronic Arts comes to break a little more this by reaffirming that The Sims 5 will not see No doubt never the day.
Electronic Arts does not want Sims 5
A few hours ago, Laura Miele, the president of Electronic Arts was interviewed by the Variety media. It was during this exchange that the president of the American publisher explained why The Sims 5 was no longer a necessity for EA. Overall, Laura Miele gives the same reasons that had already been mentioned last year.
The Sims 4 has become a game platform very complete With so many packs, DLC and extensions, that Electronic Arts does not want to start from scratch and abandon everything that has been put in place in the past ten years:
What I would not want is that it is necessary to start from scratch and abandon everything you have created, all the content you have bought over time. We have published more than 85 content packs in the past ten years on the Sims 4. Resetting all of this is nothing friendly for players. This is not a good idea for our community.
It is a fairly radical change of strategy for EA. Since the release of the first opus of Sims In 2000, the American publisher has always offered this operationwhere with each opus, the players had to start from scratch and Buy all packs and extensions. On principle, it is therefore an honest decision From Electronic Arts. Now it remains to be seen how the publisher will manage to develop his game so that it remains interesting to play.
The arrival at the start of the year ofinZoithe game published by Krafton and which also offers a kind of life simulation, more realistic, could give ideas to EA and allow Sims to renew yourself and offer new things in the future, without the need for a new opus.
