New Expansion Pack announcement at Gamescom 2018?

There was a buzz going around that they released Seasons now to clear room for a spin off later this year, so I made that an option but I feel like the Sims team are 100% committed to The Sims 4, and won’t play with spin offs until we’re coming into the last year or so of TS4 (like Castaway, Bustin Out and The Urbz).

Where is this buzz about a spin off? I've seen absolutely nothing about this.

They'e just released both the mobile and console and yes those games are run by different teams but it feels like their plate is already super full and I think that adding a spin off at this time would be way too much in too short a time frame.

I also don't think we're getting another EP this year. I say a Witches GP for fall and they might not announce anything Sims related at Gamescon at all. Just because EA is going to be there doesn't mean that The Sims is going to have something happen for it. As a community we really need to stop getting all excited and rilled up for announcements/that something is going to happen until we actually have proof that something is going to happen/be announced.

Too early, especially since they could announce EP just one month early like Seasons was. If a new EP comes out in November they could just announce it October.

My bet is that nothing is going to be announced at Gamescome. GPs are way too small to be announced at such events.

Last time they announced an EP at Gamescom we didn't get it for four months and that was really frustrating to players. So I think that even if there's going to be a second EP this year, it won't be announced till September or October.

I think that it's more likely that they will announce a new GP versus an EP.

I really don’t know

I expect a expansion in time for Christmas sales so I'm going to have to go with yeah they will announce it at Gamescon. The hard expansions are out of the way now with Seasons and Cats and Dogs complete I expect expansions to come faster now. If you look at all the other years beyond the first with one not coming out right after the base game and with its price it was most likely a lot of kids Christmas gift a expansion has always dropped out in time for Christmas sales. Will this be the first not to I doubt it.

I voted a bit too fast because EA very likely will release a GP (and an SP) later this year. I don’t know though if the GP will be announced at Gamescom or not.

I hope that they will! Most players want more expansion packs instead of stuff packs and game packs.

The question is EP at Gamescom, not GP

And I voted “Nope, too soon”. But maybe I should have chosen the option “Nope, but they will announce a GP instead”.

I just voted before I saw the second option. But I actually still don’t know which of those two options that I would have chosen anyway :)
