Ever
REDWOOD CITY, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
It's time to save up those vacation days, life gets better in 85 days.
Electronic Arts Inc. (NASDAQ: EA) today announced that The Sims™ 4
is arriving on PC starting September 2 in North America. The Sims 4 is
the only game where the new generation of smarter Sims with big
personalities gives players the power to play with life and create
meaningful, and sometimes weirder, stories. A new trailer showing these
compelling new gameplay experiences is available to view HERE.
"On September 2 our fans will be able to experience why we believe The
Sims 4 is the best life simulation game ever," said Rachel
Franklin, VP and Executive Producer for The Sims 4. "These are
brand new Sims whose traits, emotions and aspirations combine to define
more meaningful personalities than you've ever played with before. You
decide not only what they look like, but more importantly, who they are.
The combination of these new Sims, our powerful new creative tools, and
the all-new Gallery add up to the best game we've ever made."
The Sims 4 takes this best-selling franchise to an entirely new
generation. Our new Sims have been reinvented into smarter, emotionally
rich characters who come to life through a combination of their free
will and player direction. Players control the mind, body, and now the
heart of these new Sims and bring their stories to life with richness
and texture that has never before been possible in the franchise. Pair
these revolutionary new Sims with brand new creative tools that are
powerful, tactile, and easy to use, and the all-new Gallery, which
allows players to access other players' The Sims 4 user generated
content directly from the game, and the result is a stimulating new
gameplay experience that powers a new era for The Sims.
Pre-orders are available at www.TheSims.com/TheSims4.
Those who pre-order now will receive the Limited Edition which comes
with the Life of the Party Digital Content. The Sims 4 is not yet
