Bluebeard-this is NOT the place to discuss politics.
As for Sims 4,it's gone on for six long years already,and I;'m still seeing lots of people complaining about bugsd and glitches not being fixed,and new packs STILL missing content and good gameplay. On top of that, EA keeps plunking bars and other base game venues into every new world they create. Is the game engine THAT weak that it cannot handle venues such as game arcades or skateboarding parks? If the game engine really is that weak,then how do people expect to last until 2023?
And who says EA hasn't been working on Sims 5? They could of had a team working on it a couple years after Sims 4 launched.
Doubt it, Sims 4 had an entire year between announcement and release so if it was coming in a year we'd know. (4 was announced at gamescon 2013 in August? and released in September 2014)
So, I reached out to the website directly and they answered right away (translation below the screenshot) :
Me : Good evening,
I was browsing the future releases on your website and noticed that you had listed The Sims 5 for release in 2021.
Is it a random date or is it reliable information ? Can we hope for a release in the course of next year ?
Thank you,
Best regards,
I-G : The game will come out in 2021 according to Origin
Oh my gosh, if this is true, I'll be SO EXCITED!!! 🎊🤩🥰🥳🎉
My old computer died and went to that mainframe in the sky, so I bought a new gaming laptop. I over-spec'd it in anticipation of The Sims 5 and all the expansions it will have! I even stopped buying other games to save up for it!!! The Sims 3 runs like a dream on it! Will be enjoying both TS3 and TS5 while the packs for it come out!!! I'M SO READY FOR THE SIMS 5!!!
Thank you so much for letting us know!
I'm not ready for a new Sims game. Sims 4 is still missing a lot of content.
I could see Sims 4 still going on alongside any Sims 5 as so many still play it. It could end if a Sims 5 or equivalent takes over the majority of players from 2,3 and 4. It would only need a small dedicated team.

Why give up if it is still profitable?
@Simburian They always give up eventually, especially if the sales drop slightly, they did with the Sims 3 and I think the Sims 4 isn't in its "Cats and Dogs" days anymore with the crazy sales.
With SimGuruDuke leaving Sims 5 may come out quicker.
SimGuruGraham : "There's such a diverse range of topics and features that we could cover, the possibility space of what we can do within The Sims 4 is just humongous,"
Nardone tells me when I ask about the potential of a new game. "I think that just goes to show that there's way more that we can still do within this title, and our players are plenty hungry for more content that we can give in. That's a good problem to have."
Why'd they even bother with a skintone update if Sims 5 is out next year?
I was thinking the same. They also re-themed the main menu to make room for more future DLC. Makes me think TS4 may go on for longer than we might think
Yippee! I'm so happy that Sims 4 is still growing.
Me too. I actually really grew to like it since toddlers came. I hope it will still go on another 2 years, tbh, there is still so much to be added yet. And i hope there will be lots of family gameplay coming along next year (babies, gameplay and CAS for teens, playable high school, I'd also love bands, always loved to create and play musician families...). And of course: hotel and romance stuff! We miss so much still! And FARMING!!!

Not with Graham, Ninja and Lyndsay still in Maxis. Those people push the Sims 4 so hard I think I'll have grey hair by the time they give up.

Casey give up after 3 years with Anthem, he came back to "save" BioWare after the fiasco of Mass Effect Andromeda but it's an impossible mission.
