The Sims franchise is celebrating its 25th anniversary with great enthusiasm, and while Electronic Arts has provided a roadmap for the festivities, there's a sense that more surprises could be in store.
Today, The Sims team dropped a teaser that's packed with nods to the first two games in the series. This has sparked excitement among fans who are now speculating about the potential return of these classic titles. Although there's no official word yet, insiders at Kotaku are hinting that by the end of the week, EA and Maxis Games might launch digital PC versions of The Sims 1 and 2, complete with all the original expansion packs.
If these rumors hold true, the big question on everyone's mind is whether we'll see a console release as well, and if so, when it might happen. Given the lucrative nature of nostalgia, it seems unlikely that EA would miss this golden opportunity to tap into the fond memories of longtime fans.
The Sims 1 and 2 were released many years ago, and legal options for playing these beloved games today are virtually nonexistent. A comeback would undoubtedly bring joy to countless fans of the franchise.
