Playtests are by definition incomplete, and are often not representative of the final game, especially visually. But when these occasional leaks are the only information we&#8217;re getting, it&#8217;s difficult not to just take it at face value.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"van-image-figure inline-layout\" data-bordeaux-image-check >\n<div class='image-full-width-wrapper'>\n<div class='image-widthsetter' style=\"max-width:810px;\">\n<p class=\"vanilla-image-block\" style=\"padding-top:56.30%;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"dJjHcUxth26av4MXfMPYB6\" name=\"city life game wit friends\" alt=\"Unannounced Sims game - Four Sims at an outdoor cafe while a bakery catches on fire\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/another-disappointing-looking-project-rene-leak-makes-me-wish-ea-would-finally-step-in-and-say-anything-at-all-to-sims-fans-1.jpg\" mos=\"\" align=\"middle\" fullscreen=\"\" width=\"810\" height=\"456\" attribution=\"\" endorsement=\"\" class=\"\"><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><figcaption itemprop=\"caption description\" class=\" inline-layout\"><span class=\"caption-text\">An official screenshot for &#8220;City Life Game with Friends&#8221; on Google Play. <\/span><span class=\"credit\" itemprop=\"copyrightHolder\">(Image credit: Electronic Arts)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>EA remains frustratingly cagey about Project Rene\u2014and the other in-development Sims projects\u2014officially confirming very little aside from the fact that it isn&#8217;t actually The Sims 5 and will be cross-platform. Half of what we know about Project Rene comes from years old Behind The Sims videos and another half from <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/games\/the-sims\/there-wont-actually-be-a-sims-5-because-ea-is-going-to-disrupt-the-sequel-model-by-shoving-the-sims-4-project-rene-and-two-other-games-into-one-massive-sims-platform\/\">an EA investor presentation<\/a> last year that never got properly acknowledged in player-facing communication.<\/p>\n<p>We still don&#8217;t even know if these mobile game playtest leaks we keep seeing actually <em>are<\/em> Project Rene\u2014though in the absence of information <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/r\/thesims\/comments\/1joryu0\/another_look_at_project_renes_new_playtest\/\">that&#8217;s what players are guessing<\/a>.

EA still hasn&#8217;t told us anything about that either, so we&#8217;re just left to our assumptions.<\/p>\n<p>In January this year, Mollie Taylor and I got the chance to interview Sims series boss Lyndsay Pearson leading up to the series 25th anniversary. &#8220;Leaks are unavoidable, unfortunately,&#8221; <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/games\/the-sims\/sims-boss-lyndsay-pearson-says-leaks-are-unavoidable-and-youre-going-to-end-up-with-crossed-wires-occasionally-as-ea-stays-clammed-up-about-project-rene\/\">Pearson told us<\/a> then, adding that there have been times where very old playtest footage leaks, causing more confusion.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s true, leaks are pretty unavoidable. They&#8217;re made worse by the lack of communication though. While EA keeps its lips zipped, it&#8217;s difficult not to assume that the thing it originally announced as the &#8220;next generation&#8221; of The Sims and a &#8220;creative platform&#8221; has been rebooted and downsized into this online mobile game.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, The Sims series&#8217; new competitor <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/inzoi\/\">Inzoi<\/a> launched in early access last week. Though it has plenty of work left to do on creating an in-depth life sim, Krafton is certainly beating EA at the communication game.<\/p>\n<div class=\"product\"><a data-dimension112=\"0658d660-db84-43a8-87b8-13d7c4631605\" data-action=\"Deal Block\" data-label=\"Sims 4 cheats: Life hacksSims 3 cheats: Classic hacksSims 4 mods: Play your waySims 4 CC: Custom contentProject Rene: What we knowGames like The Sims: More to life Sims 4 cheats\" data-dimension48=\"Sims 4 cheats: Life hacksSims 3 cheats: Classic hacksSims 4 mods: Play your waySims 4 CC: Custom contentProject Rene: What we knowGames like The Sims: More to life Sims 4 cheats\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\"><\/p>\n<figure class=\"van-image-figure \" >\n<div class='image-full-width-wrapper'>\n<div class='image-widthsetter' style=\"max-width:925px;\">\n<p class=\"vanilla-image-block\" style=\"padding-top:100.00%;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"3zwgWkHLua8YwofMAvDAhS\" name=\"sims-4-bella-goth-rich.jpg\" caption=\"\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/another-disappointing-looking-project-rene-leak-makes-me-wish-ea-would-finally-step-in-and-say-anything-at-all-to-sims-fans-2.jpg\" mos=\"\" align=\"middle\" fullscreen=\"\" width=\"925\" height=\"925\" attribution=\"\" endorsement=\"\" credit=\"\" class=\"\"><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong><\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/the-sims-4-cheats-remove-death-bestow-wealth-and-make-your-sims-as-happy-as-larry\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-dimension112=\"0658d660-db84-43a8-87b8-13d7c4631605\" data-action=\"Deal Block\" data-label=\"Sims 4 cheats: Life hacksSims 3 cheats: Classic hacksSims 4 mods: Play your waySims 4 CC: Custom contentProject Rene: What we knowGames like The Sims: More to life Sims 4 cheats\" data-dimension48=\"Sims 4 cheats: Life hacksSims 3 cheats: Classic hacksSims 4 mods: Play your waySims 4 CC: Custom contentProject Rene: What we knowGames like The Sims: More to life Sims 4 cheats\" data-dimension25=\"\"><strong>Sims 4 cheats<\/strong><\/a>: Life hacks<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/games\/the-sims\/sims-3-cheats\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Sims 3 cheats<\/strong><\/a>: Classic hacks<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/best-sims-4-mods\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Sims 4 mods<\/strong><\/a>: Play your way<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/sims-4-cc-maxis-match-custom-content\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Sims 4 CC<\/strong><\/a>: Custom content<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/sims-5-project-rene-multiplayer-gameplay-features\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Project Rene<\/strong><\/a>: What we know<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/games\/life-sim\/best-games-like-the-sims\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Games like The Sims<\/strong><\/a>: More to life<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/games\/the-sims\/another-disappointing-looking-project-rene-leak-makes-me-wish-ea-would-finally-step-in-and-say-anything-at-all-to-sims-fans\/\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It&#8217;s happened again: Screenshots and footage from a playtest allegedly for Project Rene have leaked and fans are disappointed.
