The Sims franchise is celebrating its monumental 25th anniversary with great enthusiasm, and while Electronic Arts has outlined a detailed roadmap for the festivities, it appears there may be more surprises in store for fans.
Recently, The Sims team released an intriguing teaser that cleverly references the first two games in the series. This has sparked widespread speculation among the community that these beloved classic titles could be making a comeback. Although there's no official word from EA or Maxis Games yet, insider sources from Kotaku hint that we might see digital PC versions of The Sims 1 and 2, complete with all their original expansion packs, released by the end of the week.
If these rumors hold true, it raises the question of whether a console release will follow, and if so, on what timeline. Given the lucrative potential of tapping into fans' nostalgia, it seems improbable that EA would miss such an opportunity.
Originally released many years ago, The Sims 1 and 2 have become increasingly difficult to play legally today. A revival of these titles would undoubtedly bring joy to countless fans of the franchise, rekindling fond memories and offering new experiences to a fresh generation of gamers.
