It's official: there will be no Sims 5, but that doesn't mean the franchise is dying out with The Sims 4. On the contrary, EA confirmed on September 17, 2024 that the saga of simulation games is set to expand and diversify in the years to come. Among the game developer's projects is Project Rene, which was introduced to Sims fans some time ago.
Project Rene is a new Sims game due to be released in the next few years. A mysterious new opus developed in parallel with The Sims 4, it should offer new features and gameplay that are a little different from the game we already know. Among the special features of this forthcoming game will be a multiplayer mode , an option eagerly awaited by Sims fans.
Little information has been revealed about Project Rene: a few images and crumbs of ideas have been released by EA, but this future game is still largely kept secret. Sims fans can't wait...
Good news: some mysteries may be revealed to a small number of you. EA has decided to test certain features of its game currently in development. For this purpose, volunteer players are invited to register via an online form: the luckiest ones will be selected, and will be able to take part in "playtest" sessions.
These supervised tests will enable the development studio to detect bugs and unexpected player behavior, while checking whether the game appeals to and is easily adopted by players. During this test phase, EA is particularly keen to investigate a special feature: selected players will be able to get " a first glimpse of a multiplayer experience that lets you join friends and other players at a common location. "
Are you tempted by Project Rene? More information should be revealed in the coming months.
