EA’s The Sims 4 remake titled Project X and rumoured for a late 2026 release

More information has been revealed about the remake or remaster of the popular The Sims 4 with the base game being known internally as Project X and is planned for release in late 2026 on a number of platforms. The game is set to include Open Neighborhoods, larger crowd density and improved visual clarity over its predecessor and has yet to be officially announced by EA. The current The Sims 4 will eventually retire as the game engine is too old and too messy, so EA naturally wants to rebuild the base game along with the numerous downloadable content which is available. The information comes from a user who claims to have worked with the EA Firemonkeys team and has internal knowledge. You can read extensive details about this here.

Project X It’s being treated as a separate game and aspects from The Sims 4 will be carried over. The alleged reason for this switch being made is the fact that quality assurance and development costs have “risen substantially in the last 24 months” for The Sims 4 as developers try to tackle and maintain the complex game code that’s over a decade old now.

  1. I can’t describe my disappointment about this cause Sickr kindly asked me to avoid swearing on this blog so I’ll just say this.
    I’m really disappointed.
    The Sims really deserved better and I’m glad Spore, another masterpiece made by Maxis has been forgotten, I’d rather see a series die than watching its corpse getting dragged for extra cash

      1. by the way what’s with all the right wing whackers on there? Can’t you do a little weeding out of all the heat monger on here … they had nothing to the conversation about her game let him take their nasty politics elsewhere …

    1. What’s woke about Sims now? I genuinely don’t understand how this word gets shoehorned into every negative comment now regardless of what game or issue is being talked about. Does woke even mean anything anymore?

            1. These people are insane just weird dorks or shills/simps they swallow blue pills and don’t want change they prefer being abused.

          1. Ok fakie only you weirdos use that word. Keep using it watch what happens it will be the new “Yahtzee” it’s already becoming a cool word. When the “incels” take over be scared it’s coming

            1. Incels die alone lmaoo

              Oh no! The obese pathetic neckbeards living in their parents basement are coming for us!
              Whatever shall we do? 😂

          2. One is a joke which may have been agenda but was very lighthearted and a joke not pushing agenda the other is clearly pushing agenda

          3. Anyone who claims to be left wing or on the right side of history is regarded and a grifter if you really are on the right side you would abandon America not support white grifters like Gavin liar supremacy Newsom and move to Venezuela, Cuba, China, all superior countries actual utopia unlike America which attention clout chasers stay in either a bigot or narcissist

            1. (suggestion: this Biblical verse: “Don’t use foul or abusive language. Let everything you say be good and helpful, so that your words will be an encouragement to those who hear them.” – Ephesians 4:29, New Living Translation version)

      1. Reminder Ninja Gaiden 4 is not woke encourage everyone who hates woke actually to support that game otherwise shut up. Yotei and Shadows did way better, you’re not helping by not supporting the non woje games actually support them or you prove the woke right.

    2. Yeah the Saudi’s will end that. Surprised a Sims article is here though. Someone should tell the Saudi’s to go after their investment in Penske Media and pull out or reel them in.

  2. Ewww. Make a new SSX open world JSR like and new Def Jam. Saudi’s can’t buy EA fast enough and they should buy Capcom too

    1. Can’t believe how many prejuduced and right wing loons you let post here … Meanwhile, I bring it up in my last attempt to post and it doesn’t get put up … wth ?

  3. EA make Def Jam bring it back already! Also remake Dead Space 2 and 3, 3 has built a following now and with Saudi cash I can see that happen unlike Dante’s Inferno that I assume is dead. Mercenaries also remake. UFC needs to return to Undisputed gameplay like back in the day and add PrideFC mode and for Fight Night bring that back with BKFC mode and TopDogFC mode. Bring back SSX EA!!

  4. I honestly hope they don’t make like thousands of add ons for the Remake but knowing EA, they’ll be demanding millions more addons for useless stuff like Sabrina Carpenter Stuff pack or something stupid like that.

    I still love the Sims, but Sims 4 was the biggest let down of the series, I’d rather they just start from scratch again and go back to Sims 2 style of gameplay but with the added features that 4 has like angled furniture and quality of life improvements.

    Wouldn’t mind a Switch 2 port, because the mouse controls are made for this game

  5. Well now, that’s just plain rude of you to say. Using such vitriolic language does nothing but add fuel to the fire you wish to extinguish, and yet your hatred will consume you far before the flames reach the soles of your feet.

    Take a chill pill, man. Dang.
