The Sims franchise is in the midst of celebrating its monumental 25th anniversary, and Electronic Arts has been keeping fans engaged with a packed roadmap of events. Yet, the excitement doesn't stop there; it appears that there might be more surprises in store for Simmers.
Recently, The Sims team dropped a teaser that's packed with nods to the first two games in the series, sparking a wave of speculation among fans. Could we see the return of these beloved classics? While there's no official word yet, insider sources at Kotaku hint that EA and Maxis Games might unveil digital PC versions of The Sims 1 and 2, complete with all their original expansion packs, by the end of the week.
If these rumors hold true, the burning question on everyone's mind is whether there will be a console release, and if so, when can we expect it? Given the lucrative market of nostalgia, it seems improbable that EA would miss out on this opportunity.
It's been ages since The Sims 1 and 2 were released, and finding legal ways to play these titles today is nearly impossible. A revival of these games would certainly thrill the countless fans of the franchise, bringing a wave of nostalgia and new joy to players old and new.
