Insider: Testing of the new The Sims will begin on October 25
Famous insider Tom Henderson said that his sources have confirmed information about the start of the Sims 5 test on October 25.
Here's What We Know
The Maxis team has been working hard on the new game and now players are invited to take part in the alpha testing of Project Rene (current codename). The few selected will be able to try the game in both single-player and co-op modes. Testing will focus on the Workshop, a new tool for detailed object customization.
Players will also be able to share their creations with friends, so we're waiting for showers on the Web. Test participants will be allowed to invite up to three people to the game.
The project is currently at an early stage of development, so the release is only a few years away.
