Hopefully,
The thing is that game studios don't tend to have people work on larger multiple projects like this, when they are getting ready to release a new game they tend to have something called "full production" which is when everything has been decided and they want to focus on getting the new game done. That's when studios tend to be silent, and if they are supporting other games then they tend to not release any major new content because they want everyone to be able to work on their new game and getting it finished.
When they announced project Rene during the last sims summit and said that they had 2 more expansion packs planned then I guessed that would mean that they planned to support The Sims 4 for at least two more years and after that they would decide if they would go into full production to finish Project Rene.
I know that they have said that they have separate teams, but they are going to reach a point where they are not going to be able to change a lot more and just need to work on creating everything that they have decided to make.
Yes but didn't Simmatically confirmed on Twitter that Horse Ranch EP will not be the last EP? The way they replied with an emoji or something implies that there may be way more content planned for The Sims 4 than some of us have been expecting…also I saw in another thread the awesome @LeGardePourpre stating that it may take even more years for Rene to be ”finished” before being ready for an official release due to the fact that they are going to make it both, a mobile and PC game experience. So maybe what they said is true? :O
It might be many more years until they will be done with Project Rene... making a mobile version together with the PC version is rather unusual, I think it's more common for studios to develop their mobile version at a different studio. But the thing is also that Maxis have merged with mobile game developers that have worked on sims mobile so I'm finding it a bit difficult to understand how exactly they are working and progressing with Project Rene.
If I were them I would have kept the mobile version as a separate project and not develop it together with the PC version so that wouldn't affect the development of the PC version but they instead seem to be developing it together with the PC version which will complicate the process.
So it's possible that they are able to keep everything separate on different teams and are able to support the sims4 for many years to come, I'm just finding it a bit unlikely because they are making things a bit more complicated than I feel that they need to be, but maybe we will understand more what they are planning in future sims summits.
