'The Sims 5' release date news 2016: EA to launch new game next year? Might feature augmented reality features
Electronic Arts is currently focusing on their current life simulation video game, "The Sims 4." The game has only been around for a few year now, although there are rumors that the game developer company may already be planning to release a new installment in the highly successful "Sims" franchise. Nevertheless, the players are also looking forward to the development of "The Sims 5," but the contents to be introduced in this game are still up in the air.
According to Game N Guide, there have been speculations in the gaming community that EA may have been starting to work on the next "Sims" video game. In fact, may fans of the franchise are demanding to see something new in the franchise, and the only way for that to happen could be the release of an all-new "Sims" title. If this were to happen, "The Sim 5" must include a very entertaining and yet never seen before features in a life simulation game. According to the online publication, "The Sims 5" may be introducing an augmented reality (AR) concept in the game.
It is very difficult to bring an augmented reality gameplay to a PC game, although that may be possible to do in "The Sims" mobile version. However, with the current innovations in technology, this feature may now be possible today. The fans must take the recent rumors about "The Sims 5" with a grain of salt, as EA has yet confirmed the development of the game, Neurogadget reported.
Meanwhile., according to Cinema Blend, Maxis and The Sims Studios, the huge video game publishers behind "The Sims" franchise, are not yet planning to move on from "The Sims 4" and create a new "Sims" game. In fact, they may not yet be ready yet to start fresh with "The Sims 5" because of the poor reviews that their current game is getting. They need to focus on improving and expanding "The Sims 4," and with that, they have recently released new DLC packs for the game, including this month's "City Living" expansion pack.
