EA Halts Development on Mobile Multiplayer Sims Game in Favor of Rumored Sims 4 Sequel
EA has paused development on a mobile multiplayer Sims game in favor of moving forward with a rumored Sims 4 sequel.
Electronic Arts (EA) has suspended the development of a mobile multiplayer Sims game due to rumors of a new Sims 4 sequel. The company announced various modifications and projects today, including the discontinuation of BioWare and the discontinuation of Mass Effect 5. EA also appears to be supporting the idea that DICE and Respawn are working on a new Star Wars Battlefront game.
The suspension of the mobile Sims project, initially known as Project Rene and now as Project Lotus, is due to the popularity of The Sims 4. EA is now focusing on a game dubbed Project Evergreen, which is expected to be a sequel to The Sims 4, not a fifth installment. The game is anticipated to be released in September 2027 for PC and portable handhelds like the Steam Deck.
With The Sims 4 having been out for 12 years, fans are hopeful for a new traditional entry in the franchise.
