It took place for the first time last October For The Simsan online event organized by Electronic Arts, where among the news for this generation we first had official news about Project Rene, the long-awaited generation change of the last installment of the veteran and successful franchise. of Maxis, which next Tuesday will be 23 years since its arrival on the US market for the 05 PC (in Europe it was delayed until February 28th, although many users from the old continent started enjoying it before that date… you know what i mean).

Unlike other particularly popular games and franchises, The Sims never had any regular event in which the developer will inform the user about the news to come. It is true that the base game has hardly undergone changes and news in recent years, but the rate of release of DLC (for a fee, yes) is very high, so an event of this type would be the perfect platform to spread it. among fans of the franchise.

However, it seems that Electronic Arts has finally realized this and subsequently decided that it is time to offer regular information about The Sims in this format. And also, at least in the first place, it seems that the company has decided to make up for lost time by programming Behind The Sims news with a much greater frequency than we are used to seeing in this sector.

As The Sims evolves every day, so does the way we bring you news from our teams! Sul Sul to Behind The Sims, a new community series following The Sims Summit. Tune in on January 31st at 9am PST as we share exciting news, take you behind the scenes and more. https://t.co/0kxZKRIREn pic.twitter.com/e1D27hsLnY

As the company disclosed via official account twitter games, The new Behind The Sims will take place on January 31st. And the date doesn’t seem to be a coincidence because, as I told you at the beginning, it is the day that will be the 23rd anniversary of the launch of the first title of the saga. So we can understand that the event will at least in part consist of celebrating the birthday and more than two decades of success of all the titles in the series. It is scheduled to air to 6:00 p.m (Spanish Peninsular Time) via Twitch.

Now it won’t just be an exercise in celebration and nostalgia, as we can read in a tweet from Behind The Sims will also have news, glimpses of what goes on behind closed doors (hence the event’s name, of course), and more. And what does it mean? Well, according to previous rumors and leaks, Maxis might be announcing some news about The Sims 4, such as improvement in babieswhich will have more features and interactions with the rest of your Sims, as well as notifications new extensionwhose content is unknown, but which was already announced by the company for the beginning of this year 2023.

Will there be more news about Project Rene? I hope so, but it’s possible that we have the desire left. Recall that in the previous Behind The Sims, Maxis already said that it is still a few years away from its arrival in the market, so it seems that it is still early for there to be a test program. But who knows? Perhaps they decided to step on the gas in that sense, or at least provide new information to maintain the expectations they were already able to create with what they told us in October.
