The Sims 5 : release for 2021 ?!

The following posts are from 2018, when Seasons came out :

"Though EA hasn’t announced any further expansion for the four-year-old game, it appears as if “The Sims 4” will continue to have a long tale. Though he wouldn’t go into specifics, Rodiek said he was already in meetings discussing the next three years of content for the current title."

"The next three years of content" brings us to 2021.

That's true. When Sims 4 was announced, Sims 3 Into the future was released months later and after release of Sims 4 they kept updating the base game of 3 for a whole year.

Bring it on then :)

Expecting two more EPs for 2021 before they finally bow out and tease Sims 5.

I think its fake, also the whole store is pretty sketchy. It is one of those ''grey market'' stores. Also the gurus said the Sims 4 had many many years left and it wasn't that long ago they said that so I don't trust this unless there is a possibility TS4 will still get updated even when TS5 is released but how would they get this info from Origin afaik there has been no TS5 leak and I don't see why EA would share any info about TS5 with them because it is a grey market store.

The store is not sketchy, I buy all my games there and I never had an issue. They have great verified reviews and they are in partnership with many francophone Game Changers (Belle Pinte, Kapands...).
I'm not saying the information is true, I'm just sharing the screenshot I took and the conversation I had with them. Anyone is welcome to take that with a grain of salt. I think it would be stupid of the store to claim the game is coming in 2021 if it is, in fact, not. But I don't know anything more about it.

Any chance of you looking to see if Paradox Tectonic have any placeholders for what they're up to?

I think that since they usually announce the game 1 year prior to its release then it will probably come out late 2021 or 2022. Anyone who things the Sims 4 will last longer than those dates is delusional. The Sims 4 is breaking apart currently and the latest packs have completely ruined its (already not so good) reputation.

I can look (and you can too if you want to check by yourself) but I'm not familiar with Paradox Tectonic. Do you know on which platform it will be distributed ?

Edited to add : just had a quick look but didn't find anything under that name. If you want to have a look, this is the link (https://instant-gaming.com/fr/rechercher/?all_types=1&all_cats=1&min_price=0&max_price=100&noprice=1&min_discount=0&max_discount=100&min_reviewsavg=10&max_reviewsavg=100&noreviews=1&available_in=MT&gametype=all&sort_by=avail_date_desc&query=), just select the descending release date order. It's the last option in the scroll down menu on the right.
BTW The Sims 5 is on the second page.

Half life 3 and GTA 6? Mmmhmm... :neutral:

I have heard a lot of bad things about this store, It isn't really about if you receive your product or not but more about how they got it, they either buy it from countries where the games are cheap which isn't illegal afaik or they use stolen credit cards or some other way. That is what makes the store sketchy imo.

There is a lot of discussion going on about this question. It depends where the store got the keys.
In the case of I-G, they sell keys that have been bought from official distributors (EA, Origin, Steam, Ubisoft...). They mostly buy in other countries so that they don't have to pay the VAT. They also buy huge stocks of keys, which is why they get discounted prices.
I did a bit of research before using this website myself and yes, some people think like you. Other claim it is legal (I'm on this side).
The law is a bit vague so it's difficult to get a real answer, but I suppose if the site is still operating after all these years, that their business is legal. I don't think Game Changers would be allowed to endorse it if it wasn't.
I don't know if you speak french, if you don't you can probably use Google Translate, but this article is quite informative on the subject : https://www.jeuxvideo-live.com/dossiers-jeux-video/instant-gamingcom-comment-eca-marche-/
