EA and Maxis have announced that The Sims 4 is in development and will be arriving on PC and Mac in 2014.
“The Sims franchise is fuelled by the passion and creativity of its millions of fans around the world,” said EA. “Their continued devotion to the franchise ignites the fire of creativity of the team at The Sims Studio, driving them to continually improve and innovate on one of the world’s most successful simulation game.”
The Sims franchise has sold over 150 million copies worldwide, and continues to be prominent in the gaming release schedule thanks to the countless updates and expansions it receives.
Developer Maxis has raised the ire of Sim fans in recent months with their poorly received and bug-riddled reboot of SimCity. It should be interesting to see how the studio handles the next entry in the beloved Sim franchise. DRM disguised as an always-on-internet social-meta-game requirement, perhaps?

Oh great now you’ll need to wait in a 30min server que to log into your neighborhood. And your max plot size will be just enough for a studio apartment.
Have always loved maxis, but never buying an EA game again ever.
