Maxis Announces ‘The Sims 4’

It’s been rumored for as long as I can remember, but now it’s official. Maxis has just announced The Sims 4. The game is set to release on PC and Mac sometime in 2014.

That’s it. Not a single screenshot, trailer, or other tidbit of information was revealed, but more information is expected later today.

Less than two months ago, EA had major issues with the launch of Sim City (and that’s putting it lightly). I’ve always been a fan of The Sims, so I can only hope that things go differently this time around. I really hope we don’t see an always-on DRM system or tons of microtransactions in this one.

Have you been keeping up with The Sims? Will you be looking at The Sims 4, or did Sim City leave too bad a taste in your mouth? We’ll update you with more info as soon as we get it!
