The Sims franchise is moving beyond linear, sequential video game releases, according to franchise vice president and general manager Kate Gorman Revelli. Instead of moving on to The Sims 5<\/em><\/a>, replacing The Sims 4<\/em>, Electronic Arts and developer Maxis will continue to support The Sims 4<\/em>, adding onto the franchise by developing next to it, not replacing it.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo much of the way people play The Sims is about expressing themselves and their creativity and finding their own set of goals to pursue within the game, but what brings them back is their attachment to those little people that they\u2019ve built,\u201d Gorman Revelli told Polygon<\/a>. \u201cWe also know that we\u2019re not going to go to a linear model, because we have so much with\u00a0The Sims 4<\/em>. What we\u2019re really looking at is, how do we continue to work with our community, work with our players, and not have you have this moment in time where you\u2019re going to reset all your progress and lose those amazing memories, characters, and things that you\u2019ve built within those 10 years of your gameplay, potentially?\u201d<\/p>\n

Confused? Up until now, most people considered Project Rene as The Sims 5<\/em>. But that\u2019s not entirely right. Project Rene will exist alongside The Sims 4<\/em><\/a> and other games as a multiplayer component. \u201cWe want to continue to extend, so if you want to play that kind of multiplayer experience, that\u2019ll be what you look for in the things we\u2019ve talked about about Project Rene,\u201d she said. The first real look at what to expect there is scheduled for later this year, according to Gorman Revelli, as part of its new experimental testing grounds, The Sims Labs.<\/p>\n

\u201cAgain, it\u2019s a complementary experience to all the things \u2014 it\u2019s not a linear experience,\u201d she said. \u201cThere\u2019s a lot we\u2019ll be seeing in the playtest, but the core piece to know what Rene is we\u2019re really looking at a way to make The Sims playable together. That\u2019s what we\u2019ll be continuing to iterate on and learn with the community.\u201d<\/p>\n

Gorman Revelli was clear that The Sims will continue to evolve and upgrade. In a post on The Sims\u2019 blog<\/a>, The Sims 4<\/em> was described as \u201ca foundational Sims experience\u201d that\u2019ll continue to be modernized. So will there ever be a game called The Sims 5<\/em>? The answer sounds like no. But that doesn\u2019t mean the Sims experience isn\u2019t going to change or evolve; whatever would fall, perhaps, fifth in line as a mainline Sims game (Rene or not!) is not<\/em> a replacement for The Sims 4<\/em> \u2014 it\u2019s a continuation of it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
