The developers behind The Sims 4 did reveal a bit of information at the GDC 2014 regarding the next installment in their life simulation series. However, as most information was vague or a thing we already knew, most fans were disappointed. Upgrading the graphics, enhancing the engine and adding new ways for us to torment our avatars, Maxis has proven that they are able to add a whole new level of life simulation experience with each addition to the series. The Sims 4 is no different, as this time the game will not only have better visual fidelity, but improved behavioral system as well. However, as we learned virtually nothing about the game’s release date at the Game Developers Conference 2014, could we actually have to wait a bit more until we see the game hit the market?

Moreover, there were more than one indicators that if the game were to be released in the Fall of 2014, it should’ve been officially stated at the GDC 2014. As it wasn’t most people begun wondering if there were problems with the development of the game and if we are actually going to see it hit the market this year.

There is a reason why the official release date of The Sims 4 hasn’t been officially unveiled at the GDC 2014, but it has little to do with the actual development process of the game. Although the game may be delayed a few weeks, we are certainly going to see it by the end of 2014, as software engineer behind the game Peter Igenbretson has confirmed multiple times.

Although, we can’t officially confirm a release date for the Sims 4, what we can confirm with certainty is that it will be worth the wait. Even though from the trailers the game doesn’t seem visually breathtaking, what is truly powerful is the engine it runs on and how it has been upgraded. Your virtual avatars will be far different from what you’ve experienced before and could even make you believe they have a mind of their own.
Achieving its highest point in life simulation, the Sims 4 won’t be just the regular simulation experience where you’d have to make your sim complete various everyday tasks, but will be a mind bending puzzle where you’d have to take every emotion and behaviour habits of your sims into perspective in order to make them follow your command. Making you feel like a true mastermind and even a bit of a manipulating monarch, The Sims 4 will definitely be one of the best life simulation experiences.
