EA hasn't said what it will showcase, naturally, but Sims fans and the games media will certainly be paying attention - not the least because the publisher isn't on the roster for E3 in June aside from being a partner with Summer Games Fest. The best opportunity for a Sims 5 announcement is likely the next EA Play Live event, scheduled for July 22. Related: The Sims 5 Should Have More Realistic Graphics A open design can require a lot of investment upfront, but sometimes makes it easier to add multiplayer and post-launch content. The game could also adopt an open-world design, but even that's getting into speculative territory, simply reasonable based on series history and the general trend towards open worlds among publishers.
It's not clear what features The Sims 5 might have beyond better graphics. In February, EA CEO Andrew Wilson did promise that online features will be added to The Sims " in the years to come," specifically referring to the sort of " social interactions and competition" seen in The Sims Online.
But with the game's graphics looking increasingly antique, the likelihood of a Sims 5 sequel announcement is growing fast. EA has little incentive to rush, of course - the company has been able to sell fans on a never-ending stream of Sims 4 DLC, more of which is planned for this summer. It's been almost six years since The Sims 4 hit shelves, longer than any other span in the series' history.
