The Final game packs are gradually being added to "The Sims 4," and fans are now wondering when they will more details about its sequel, "The Sims 5." Maxis and EA continued silence triggers a wealth of speculations about the game. Fans are excited to know the details about the next iteration to the successful "The Sims" series and anticipating that a total overhaul to the current game will happen in "The Sims 5."
With EA ensuring that details about "The Sims 5" are held under a tight light, official details about it are limited. However, there are still quite a few things that we can deduce from the game developer's previous statements. Also, by studying the gaming studio's release pattern, we can safely assume even the release window of the much-awaited "The Sims" game.
It is safe to say that EA will not yet release "The Sims 5" until all the contents scheduled to release for "The Sims 4" have all been rolled out. This has always been the strategy of EA Games to ensure that the current game available in the market has a fair chance before getting shelved out by the new game iteration. For now, it is going to be a long and big waiting game, and fans will simply have to bear the long-wait until the game developers are satisfied and ready to release the much-awaited title.
Currently, it is still a mystery if EA is indeed working on the development and production of "The Sims 5" since it has not yet made any announcement related to the game or acknowledging the existence of the game. There might be some indicators that it might be in the development phase or that it is being considered, but because of the lack of official confirmation, it's too early to assume that it is in the works. "The Sims 4" is a massive success, and business-wise, EA will take advantage of this before it releases another game iteration.
Despite the lack of official announcement or statement about "The Sims 5," fans are positive that EA might make an announcement about the fifth series iteration in 2020. This is because next year marks the 20th anniversary of the popular "The Sims" franchise. It is going to be a massive event for EA Games, and it could take advantage of the event to do something big like announcing the arrival of "The Sims 5" or even just launching the game along with a gameplay trailer.
