Arguably one of the most popular series of all time, the next instalment of The Sims will base its multiplayer on Animal Crossing: New Horizons.

Pearson went on to say: “And we’ve seen throughout the last few years of Animal Crossing, people inventing ways to play together that the game doesn’t specifically support, but they’ve made up scavenger hunts or whatever, which is amazing. Or people who hosted talk shows on Animal Crossing, I think, is incredible, right?"

How exactly this translates into the next Sims game is anyone’s guess, but it sounds like there’ll be plenty of interactive features for players to get involved with, so it actually feels like you’re living in a community with other players.

The Sims 5currently has no release date, and a trailer is yet to be released.
