One of the most loved PC games ever, along with its sequel, might be making a grand comeback this week.
In a recent video from EA and Maxis Games that celebrates the 25th anniversary of The Sims series, there was a hint about the potential re-release of the first two games. The official X page for The Sims shared a timeline of events for the celebration, featuring a week named “Nostalgia Now,” which is set to run from January 27th to 31st.
Exciting News from Kotaku
This aligns with a report from Kotaku, where a source who knows about the situation mentioned that both The Sims and The Sims 2 could be re-released by the end of this month. The insider also mentioned that the re-releases would come with all the various expansion packs for these titles.
A sneak peek video for the event showcases the famous green diamond icon representing the active Sim from the first game, surrounded by the action choice wheel from The Sims 2.
The Challenge of Playing Older Titles
Although The Sims 4 has been thriving for over a decade, getting access to the older games in the series is tough, if not impossible, these days. The Sims was only ever available on physical discs, and The Sims 2 was taken offline in 2014. Moreover, both games need some technical adjustments to work well on today’s computers.
Just remember, this re-release is just a rumor for now. While it looks quite probable that the original games will come out (or at least show up in some way next week), it’s wise to take this news lightly.
