"The Sims" recently made news online after rumors suggests, "The Sims 5" is happening soon. However, that's all there is to it as Maxis fails to give any concrete details about it. Maxis apparently released its fourth and final The Sims installment in 2014 and since then, news about the next installment never did came around.
If ever there's going to be "The Sims 5," fans may have to wait until 2019; that's if we follow the pattern by which, Maxis deliver the series. Every 5 years, they release the next installment and given how "The Sims 4" happened in 2014, it's likely that "The Sims 5" will arrive in 2019.
However, the pull of "The Sims 5" not happening is also strong as prior to the release of "The Sims 4." Maxis producer Grant Rodiek said, "The Sims 5" will have to depend on how the latest series will fare in the market.
Unfortunately, "The Sims 4" was unsuccessful, scoring only 70/100 in the MetaCritic, the Christian Daily reports. Despite that, not everyone was against the game and those who have faithfully followed the game obviously want the next series.
"The Sims" is not available on any platform aside from the PC and Mac, so it's quite hard for the developer to reach wider range of players. Maybe when they can fully integrate the game to Xbox One and the PS4 console, will the rating increase, thus giving equal opportunity for "The Sims 5" to compete with the other games.
If you have not been updated on the sequence by which the series was released. "The Sims" was launched in 2002, followed by "The Sims 2" in September 2014, "The Sims 3" in June 2009, "The Sims 4" in 2014 and the "The Sims 5" with an undetermined date.
