EA is currently working on an exciting new addition to The Sims series, though it may not be the highly anticipated The Sims 5. While fans have been eagerly awaiting a new core installment in the beloved life simulation franchise, EA has confirmed that their next project is a multiplayer spin-off instead.

Despite the long gap since the last main entry, The Sims 4 continues to maintain its popularity. However, with the franchise celebrating its 25th anniversary in 2025, players were treated to special events and releases like The Sims Legacy Collections. Now, EA is focusing on expanding the universe with new experiences rather than replacing the current game.

In a recent interview with Variety, EA Entertainment president Laura Miele revealed that the studio is prioritizing player-friendly approaches. She explained that moving away from The Sims 4 would require players to abandon their extensive collections of expansions and DLCs, which EA wants to avoid. Instead, the new multiplayer platform will complement the existing game with enhanced technology and user experience.

While details remain scarce, Miele teased that the upcoming spin-off will include a mobile version and aims to create an "ecosystem" of interconnected Sims experiences. This approach suggests EA's long-term vision for the franchise, offering diverse ways for players to engage with the world of The Sims beyond the traditional single-player format.
