- Chicklet453683 years agoSeasoned AceI can't imagine them showing features 3+ years in advance so I had to go with 2025. Because there could be a LOT of technilogical advances that happen in that time frame which could be better.
There's 2 theories floating around in my head as to why they did announce it and show off snippets of ideas they're working on so early:- To encourage hype and continued interest in The Sims because they have witnessed the uber excitement from Life Simulation fans for other game studios who are currently working on games for the same genre
- To allow "playtesters" to test out features and give feedback on what works and what doesn't with plenty of time to change, add, or adjust things way before the game releases to avoid unnecessary backlash from simmers.
2022 is basically over, so that leaves all of 2023 and 2024 to finalize the game (plus continue to add to TS4 to make it as complete as possible before they discontinue creating DLC for it).
In the past when they've announced a new game, it was like a year and a half before release, but they actually gave us an approximate release year they were aiming for.
This time, they specifically stated they've never given information on a new project this far in advance and they also did not indicate any type of timeline goal for the release.
And, I could be totally wrong and just be having wishful thinking and it not actually release for 10 more years!

- logionX3 years agoSeasoned AceMy guess is that they plan to work on it for two more years, and then it will take one more year for them to finish it where they during the last year will not add any new larger features but just focus on making assets.
- I think 2026 at the earliest. They're still in the process of figuring out exactly what they want it to be. Then, design, code, and debug applications for multiple platforms in a manner that allows them to have some sort of integrated cross platform architecture and communication. It's a long road to what they're saying that they want to develop.
- KatAnubis3 years agoSeasoned AceWhile this is early for a *Sims* game to be announced, it's getting to be the norm for far more than indie games to announce that they are in production early. It seems from what they've shown us so far that they are still at the development stage, not even at the alpha stage. There is a lot more work to come!
- 2024 at absolute earliest, but 2025 and 2026 are probably more likely.
- not before 2025 dear watcher no
2025 too feels too early though
given they're only now seemingly starting with it
i barely noticed the last few years go by
but something about sims 5 in 2025 kinda rhymes sure
it'll release before i ever ask for it anyway thats what always happens
if it was up to me i would not see it before 2035 but thats quite surely not how its gonna go - 2025 feels like the earliest we can expect to see it, but it really depends on how many people they have working on it and how much they already have done behind the scenes that we just don't know about yet. They've been working on it for years, so it COULD happen earlier, even if it's not likely.

Last year, they said "many more years." Though from this summit, I thought the language changed. Lyndsay said:
"next couple of years" and "several years"
