Project Rene (temporary title: City Life Game with Friends[2]) is the working title for a "next generation Sims game" widely speculated in the Sims community to be The Sims 5, however, it was announced at investors day September 17, 2024 that The Sims 5 is not being developed.[3] Project Rene was officially unveiled during Electronic Arts's "Behind The Sims Summit" on October 18, 2022 by Lyndsay Pearson, Vice President of Franchise Creative for The Sims team.[4]
The name "Project Rene" was chosen to "be reminiscent of words like renaissance and rebirth to represent the team's renewed commitment for The Sims' bright future."[5]
Project Rene is set to include single-player and online multiplayer capabilities and to be compatible across various platforms.
Pearson stated that Project Rene was "very early" in its development, and that development on the project would continue "over the next couple of years." No official release date or official name for the game has been announced, but it will be free-to-play for everyone like The Sims 4.
Planned or revealed features[]
Project Rene's reveal during the "Behind The Sims Summit" showed a few features present in the project at that time. Project Rene was shown to have a detailed object designer called Workshop, which included texture patterns, a color wheel, and the ability to customize smaller objects on a larger object, such as controlling the placement of throw pillows on a sofa.[4]
Project Rene's sneak peek during the "Behind The Sims Summit" showed the ability to select apartments, implying that apartments will be available in the game at launch rather than added in a later expansion pack.[6]
Trivia[]
