The Sims 5 - or Project Rene, as EA is currently calling - is still some considerable way from release, but that isn't …
First up are"new lighting technologies" that Maxis says will help it create"highly customisable spaces and let players tell emotionally resonant stories". And as for animation, Maxis is iterating on an approach it's calling"read the room", intended to let players know how Sims are feeling just by the way they behave - through their attitudes, emotions, and postures.
This minimalist approach feeds into the studio's work on socialisation, where it's experimenting with ditching the usual thought balloons and UI to see"how little we can get away with". It says it's currently leaning into"clear, playful, simple visuals" to get an idea of"how much information is too much, too little" so it can hone in on the sweet spot that works best for conveying crucual information to players.
It's an intriguing glimpse at what The Sims 5 might ultimately be, but given how early in development things currently are, it's impossible to guess how much of what we see now will make it into the final game. EA previously said it'll continue sharing updates"over the next couple of years" as development progresses, so don't expect a Project Rene release anytime soon.
