JAKARTA - During the Behind The Sims Summit event which took place on Tuesday, October 18, EA revealed that work on the new The Sims game will begin soon.

In the broadcast, Lyndsay Pearson, EA's senior franchise creative VP who has worked for The Sims, called it Project Rene.

"I'm so excited to share today a first look at the future of The Sims innovation. I'm privileged to help usher in the franchise into the next decade and beyond. We're building the next generation of The Sims games and creative platforms," ​​said Lyndsay.

Lyndsay also said that the Project Rene work was carried out in collaboration with the development team of The Sims 4 and The Sims Mobile.

"We are ushering in a new future for The Sims with new game experiences and more," Lyndsay continued.

In the EA blog, the studio explains that the name "Rene" itself recalls words like renaissance and rebirth to represent the team's renewed commitment to The Sims' bright future.

Project Rene will essentially develop the way Sims think and behave, how players create and customize their worlds, and innovate in entirely new ways.

In this project, the development team started by experimenting with creative tools, which are the DNA of The Sims. Project Rene will offer more flexible ways to help players build and decorate their rooms.

With Project Rene, players will have the option of playing solo or collaborating with others, and will have the ability to play their games across supported devices.

This is just a glimpse of what the team is working on. They promise to continue to share more information about the game's development and achievements along the way.
