A rumor claims The Sims 5 has been canceled, but it’s difficult to say just how much truth there is to it. Although it’s been rumored to exist for a while now, Project Rene – the working title for a secretive, next-gen Sims game that many consider synonymous with The Sims 5 – was officially confirmed to exist back in 2022. It was only in the earliest stages of development back then, and news on Project Rene has been scarce ever since. But it’s generally assumed to be under wraps while it goes through the normal development cycle.
