Game news Huge leak for The Sims 5, hackers have leaked an unfinished version of this video game long awaited by the community
While Sims fans impatiently await the fifth opus, leaked elements give clues about this title!
It’s been almost a decade since The Sims 4 was released around the world. Never has a title in this franchise lasted so long, as the previous opuses followed one another in just a few years. It must be said that no other game in this life simulation license has been as popular as this fourth iteration. It was in an official press release last year that EA revealed that their weekly player numbers increased by 53% after making the base game free-to-play. With such popularity ten years after its appearance, and a myriad of expansions of all kinds that delight players, needless to say that The Sims 4 is living a good life.
Alongside this success, the fifth mysterious opus is still eagerly awaited by fans. Never have they had to wait so long before the release of a Sims opus, which arouses both curiosity and enthusiasm.
The Sims 5, aka Project René, has so far revealed very little information, the most recent being the free-to-play of its base game and the possibility of a multiplayer mode. However, leaks have just appeared all over the Internet.
A hacker leaked information about The Sims 5
Recently, a hacker leaked information regarding The Sims 5. The latter would have distributed a preliminary version of this title online. At the moment, we do not know who is behind this leak and where these elements appeared. One thing is certain: the news spread very quickly, and the subreddit on this fifth opus was overflowing with information on this subject before being moderated. Unfortunately for EA and Maxis, who have not communicated anything yet, this is the biggest leak since images leaked in 2022.
What we know from these leaks is that this title will use the DRM Denuvo, which will not delight all fans since it is not uncommon to see players complaining about it on various video games. We also learn that developers switched from Frostbite game engine to Unreal Engine. Elements of the PC and mobile version have been revealed, suggesting that development is well advanced. It is very likely that additional information will emerge shortly, if Internet users take a closer look at these leaks via this unfinished version to download. However, note that all this information should be taken with a pinch of salt.
