If you are itching for your next Sims game, EA and Maxis have announced where you’ll be able to scratch it. Soft-launched in Brazil first, The Sims Mobile looks to bring everyone’s quirky life-sim to a mobile platform as a free download on the App Store and Google Play. Right now it’s available in Brazil, but other regions will be coming shortly. Here’s a little bit of what we know so far:
Developed by the creators of The Sims and SimCity franchises, The Sims Mobile is inspired by The Sims 4 Legacy Challenge, encouraging players to build a successful multi-generational family, while unlocking and collecting unique Heirlooms along the way. As players progress, these powerful Heirlooms offer different gameplay benefits that help Sims achieve their Life Goals throughout the game.
In The Sims Mobile, players can also interact with their real-life friends in a whole new way. Their Sims can host and attend parties, develop relationships as best friends, nemeses, soul mates, and more with their real-life friends’ Sims, and share in big moments together in the game. From creating amazing Sims and shaping their Sims’ stories, to collecting valuable rewards and sharing experiences with friends, the options to play with life are endless.
As I said, the game is soft launching in Brazil, but you can already download it on Google Play (but not quite on the App Store as of writing). If it’s not available for you quite yet, keep an eye on when it’ll launch in your part of the world at the official site. In the mean time, check out the announcement trailer below to see what the game has to offer.
