The Sims 3 to be revealed soon News

PC News by Tom Bramwell

15 February, 2008

Electronic Arts is working on The Sims 3, according to Sims studio creative director Rod Humble.

Speaking on the QuarterToThree forum, often a hotbed of industry gossip, Humble said: "For Sims 3 there will be new information soon."

This comes in the same week that EA's Nancy Smith said to expect a pair of new MySims Wii and DS games this year, along with SimCity Creator and SimAnimals.

Humble mentions those too, and adds that apart from The Sims 2 Freetime, there are no new Sims 2 SKUs planned for this year.

Indeed, he says there will be fewer Sims products over all than in 2007.

Thanks to Rock Paper Shotgun for pointing us in the direction of Humble's comments.

I just hope that Simcity Creator is more along the lines of Simcity 4. Socities has sold poorly compared to previous versions. Hopefully they'll get the message.

The Sims 2 was waaaay better than the first. Hopefully the third installment delivers.

I don't hate The Sims as much as I should because I figured out how to play it. You get out what you put in. Some of the funniest gaming I have ever had was making toddler versions of me and my friends and having Hitler looking after us as a single parent.

They can fuck off with all the expansions though.

Sales of the full price bimonthly expansion packs must be diminishing

Looking forward to the likely multi-player elements. I'll be hanging out in your neighbourhood... :-)
