I see they included some nice Halloween coloured shredded filler paper. Maybe they will give us some updates for Halloween.

-Some more classic Dracula style content?
-CAS content to make Spellcasters feel a bit more witchy?
-Maybe an announcement that they're adding mummies, zombies, or something where we can create our own Frankensteins. Or Fronkensteen if that's your thing.?
-A pack refresh for Realm of Magic? There are many packs that need attention far more, but it could use one.

Oh man... that would be so awesome if it was all about supernatural stuff for the Sims 4.

But alas, I fear this summit isn't about the Sims 4 at all (except for maybe a new roadmap).... *sigh*

My fear is they're going to announce that the future direction of the Sims franchise is going to be multiplayer online. They're going to tell us they will keep The Sims 4 going as long as they can for those of us who don't want to go that route, but that they hope we will 'see the light' and join them on this new venture. I base that on the piece of card in @simgirl1010's picture that says: 'For Now Not Forever'.

In front of that is another piece of card that depicts a version of Dali's 'Persistence of Memory' (the melting clock), which has the hands at 4 minutes to midnight. All of that suggests to me that they fully intend to reinvent the wheel with The Sims 5, and the position of the hands suggests where they are in the development of TS5.
