Game news Will this extremely promising Sims competitor see the light of day? Its postponement worries Internet users

Sometimes the postponements of a game are for the best, and we hope that this will be the case for Life by You. But it’s always worrying, when we postpones a title only a few weeks before its release announced…

Early access, but postponed

Life by You, which has the ambition to be a direct competitor to The Sims, continues to be talked about. Unfortunately, it’s not with good news: the game has indeed postponed its early access release. Initially scheduled for September 2023, then postponed for the first time to March 5, 2024, early access to the Paradox Tectonic title now sees its release date set for June 4, 2024. This time, it’s a additional period of three months which is granted to developers to refine the visuals (especially the character models) and improve the gameplay mechanics. This decision, although frustrating for fans, demonstrates Paradox Tectonic’s desire not to release a game in a state that is not acceptable, even in early access. Furthermore, we can praise the fact of do not force developers to respect a deadline at all costs. Rod Humble, managing director of the studio, stressed in a press release the need to guarantee a smooth and entertaining game for players, from the launch of early access.

A new generation life simulator

This life simulator wants to revolutionize the genrewith his open world without loading screensallowing players to immerse themselves in a immersive experience. The idea of ​​Paradox Tectonic is to allow players to interact with their characters in a more authentic way than at the Maxis juggernaut. Unlike the Sims, whose language called Simlish has become cult, Life by You offers conversations in real languages. The title should therefore suggest richer and more complex stories. In addition, creative freedom is also at the heart of the game, with multitude of tools allowing players to personalize every aspect of their experiencewhether by building dream houses, creating characters entirely to their liking, or shaping entire cities according to their desires.
