Today, Maxis dropped a ton of The Sims-related information spanning the games, the upcoming film, content creators, and more. While some fans may have been scouring the updates for news on next-gen Sims release Project Rene, there wasn’t much to go on…except that there will be another invite-only playtest of the game coming this fall.<\/p>\n

<\/section>\n

Per Maxis, Project Rene will hold a “small, invite-only playtest” in the fall, “giving an early look at a multiplayer experience that explores joining friends and other players at a shared location.” Interested individuals can sign up to participate in the playtest here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

<\/section>\n

This is the second publicized public playtest Project Rene has held since its announcement, having previously had a similar small, closed playtest<\/a> focused on furniture customization<\/a> way back in 2022.<\/p>\n

Project Rene was first announced in October of 2022<\/a> as the “next generation” of The Sims. Maxis has held off on referring to it as The Sims 5, and has said it expects the game to continue co-existing alongside The Sims 4 rather than replacing it. We’ve seen very, very little of the game since, though we know it allows for furniture customization on a level of detail previously impossible in the franchise, and that it will support cooperative multiplayer<\/a>.<\/p>\n

In the same update, Maxis announced a number of other The Sims-related news bits. These included confirmation of a previously-reported The Sims film directed by Kate Herron<\/a>, and the introduction of The Sims 4 Creator Kits allowing content creators to craft and publish in-game assets in partnership with the studio.<\/p>\n

We recently updated our review of The Sims 4 to reflect the state of the game in 2024, and gave the now free-to-play game an 8\/10<\/a> thanks to its strong community and frequent updates.<\/p>\n
