What we arm them with and the capabilities and frameworks we arm them with and where they take that I think it’s going to be a pretty significant surprise and a pretty exciting time for us as we bring these tools and platforms to market. Given the mass appeal, Electronic Arts (EA) has continued working on the franchise and dropped a major bombshell late in April 2021. They are sharing, they could create marketplaces. And it’s us being able to create a framework and that players are actually gonna create these experiences and in the end, it's doing it together, doing it collaboratively. Geoff Keighley: I imagine as The Sims becoming more of a platform for creativity – it feels like an opportunity? Laura Miele: Absolutely. The team is hard at work on the next generation of that experience. And then to do that together – I think that’s one of our biggest opportunities with The Sims is the social connection component that we need to bring to this brand and this franchise. I think 20 years later we learned a lot about how players interact, what motivates players, how players can come together co-operatively and so as you imagine as we think about the next generation of The Sims it’s SUPER important for us to have the best tools, the most flexibility and for players to really expand on their creativity, remix items and objects in the world. We had The Sims Online that came out in 2002 which was around 20 years ago. It seems like The Sims out of all your franchises is maybe best equipped to play in this world? Laura Miele: Yes, a lot of fertile ground for The Sims for sure and the idea that we will build on the tools for people to play with life and the idea for people to be able to play with life together. Is there sort of an opportunity to do more of there? I look at Roblox, Fortnite Creative and things like that. Our educated guess is that it will be launched at the end of 2020. The E3 2018 event just got over and no one expected EA to make an announcement with regards to the Sims franchise because there are still lots of juice left. The Sims is still a vibrant franchise for EA right now. So theres no official news on the sims 5 release date. The Sims 5: News, Rumors and Release Date Electronic Arts and Maxis are at the helm of this amazing game, as players couldn’t stop imagining, discussing and reading news about the Sims 5.
