'The Sims 5' Update: Rumors Say to Expect a 2020 Release
It has been about four years since EA released a new "Sims" game (or just a few months for console players out there), and fans are starting to wonder when they will be able to get a new iteration of the life simulator series. Unfortunately, it looks like "The Sims" may be pretty low on EA's list of priorities as rumor has it that a new game is not expected to come out until at least 2020.
Reports are starting to say that, while EA may have the resources to develop and release a new entry by 2019, they may wait to postpone it to 2020. Other sources share the same idea, reporting that the poor reception and general performance of "The Sims 4" may cause EA to step back and make sure that whatever they release next lives up to expectations and standards.
But while "The Sims 5" may still be a bit of a pipe dream, EA is still going strong in making sure that "The Sims 4" still gets content on a regular basis.
