Hey simmers. I'm here with some good and bad news. I'll just be blunt.

There is (or was) a new MySims game in development. Without giving away too much, I work for a company that does key art for EA. Back in January, I did logo mockups for a bunch of games including The Sims Mobile, The Sims 4 Cats & Dogs, and MySims World.

I've been a fan of the MySims series since I was a kid, and this got me really hyped. I don't know much about the game except for little tidbits I heard from our contact at EA, an executive producer. I won't say their name for obvious reasons.

From what I gather, the game is very much a passion project for the studio. They love the fandom of MySims and wished they could have continued the series. This game is supposed to bring it all back for fans and a new generation of kids.

I know, that sounds hokey, but it's true.

Anyway, I'm rambling a bit. All of the logos we worked on were supposed to be for products announced this year. I figured that MySims World would be announced at GamesCom today, but that didn't happen. I don't know what's going on, but it seems weird that it's off the table. I think it should have been announced by now. All the other products we were working with have been.

I know I don't have much proof to give that this is true. I completely understand if you don't believe me. I wish I could offer some concrete proof, but that would put my job at risk, NDAs and all that.

I will give you one thing though. I'll show you one of the mockups that was made for the game logo. This isn't the final one. I apologize that it's so small, but I had to take a screenshot of the thumbnail preview. If I opened the full size image, it'd place a watermark with my name on it. That way they can tell who is leaking what if the image is ripped.



In conclusion, I don't know if the project is still coming. Either way, fight for your game. If you want this to come out, be vocal. Best of luck, simmers.
