More information has been revealed about the remake or remaster of the popular The Sims 4 with the base game being known internally as Project X and is planned for release in late 2026 on a number of platforms. The game is set to include Open Neighborhoods, larger crowd density and improved visual clarity over its predecessor and has yet to be officially announced by EA. The current The Sims 4 will eventually retire as the game engine is too old and too messy, so EA naturally wants to rebuild the base game along with the numerous downloadable content which is available. The information comes from a user who claims to have worked with the EA Firemonkeys team and has internal knowledge. You can read extensive details about this here.

Project X It's being treated as a separate game and aspects from The Sims 4 will be carried over. The alleged reason for this switch being made is the fact that quality assurance and development costs have "risen substantially in the last 24 months" for The Sims 4 as developers try to tackle and maintain the complex game code that's over a decade old now.
