The Sims 3: Medieval/Realms | Rumor |
Domains such as 'simsmedieval.com' and 'thesimsgetmedieval.net' were purchased on May 26, 2010. Infinite Sims speculate a release of January - March 2011 if this is a new 'The Sims' title[3].
Medieval hasn't been mentioned together with The Sims 3 specifically and it is unknown if the rumors on 'Medieval' and 'Realm' are tied together.
SmartSims (Dutch site) has reported that a bunch of 'The Sims 3 Realm' domains has been bought. A release of this game is rumored to be March 24, 2011[4]. This date puts it close to the rumored launch of the 3rd stuff pack.
Attendees at the event got a sneak peek at EA taking The Sims through space and time[5] behind closed doors. The speaker mentioned he couldn't reveal more on camera as they were under an embargo (possibly referring to a Non-disclosure agreement). |
