The Sims franchise is marking its 25th anniversary with a bang, and while Electronic Arts has unveiled its celebratory plans, the possibility of unexpected additions remains.
A recent Sims teaser subtly alluded to the series' first two installments, sparking fervent fan speculation about a potential resurgence of these classic titles. While no official announcement has been made, Kotaku sources hint at a possible reveal later this week: digital PC re-releases of The Sims 1 and 2, complete with their original expansion packs.
The question of console ports, and their timing, remains unanswered. However, given the potential for capitalizing on nostalgic demand, it seems improbable that EA would forgo this lucrative opportunity.
The original Sims 1 and 2 are now quite dated, and readily available legal methods to play them are scarce. A re-release would undoubtedly thrill countless fans of the long-running series.
