During the Behind the Sims Summit, Maxis unveiled a very early look at “Project Rene,” the codename for the game that will eventually be The Sims 5. Here’s what we know so far.
After eight years of The Sims 4 and its expansions, fans have started to wonder what’s next for the classic life simulator franchise. On Tuesday, The Sims developer Maxis unveiled a very early look at “Project Rene” (pronounced like Renée), the codename for the game that will eventually become The Sims 5.
During the developer’s Behind the Sims Summit, Maxis’ vice president of franchise creative for The Sims, Lyndsay Pearson, shared high-level plans for upcoming Sims content. Pearson officially announced Project Rene, the next mainline Sims game, which will allow for solo or collaborative play and cross-play across various devices.
The preview of Project Rene presented at the summit focused on technical systems like building and customization, but didn’t show off the actual titular Sims themselves.
