For years the franchise of The Sims It has remained the definitive life simulator, since it has existed since the era when computers started the boom with games, there are even many people who prefer this franchise over other popular ones like Animal Crossing. However, there was a promise to compete directly against this, the expected Life By Youwhich would supposedly arrive this summer and now will not do so to the misfortune of the fans.

Early access for this game was going to happen next June 4but now with the statement of Paradox Interactive We have been left without any tentative date or anything like that, and it has not been made clear why it will not be released, but the assumption is that they will optimize the experience. To this they add that the decision has not been easy, but it is for the good of those who want to receive the optimal gaming experience.

Here the message:

Greetings everyone, we have a statement from our Deputy General Director about “Life By You”:

Hello everyone,

After much consideration, we regret to announce that we have decided to withdraw the Early Access release date for Life by You, previously set for June 4. This was not an easy decision, especially since we understand the anticipation and excitement that many players have for the game. However, we believe that more development time is needed.

While we would have preferred to commit to a new release window, we believe it is more prudent to wait while we plan ahead, rather than commit to a new date that we cannot be sure of meeting.

We will provide more information as soon as possible, until then we want to sincerely thank you for your continued support and patience.

Mattias Lilja, Deputy CEO of Paradox Interactive.

Here a description of The Sims:

The Sims is a life simulation video game series developed by Maxis and published by Electronic Arts (EA). It was created by game designer Will Wright and was first released on February 4, 2000. The series allows players to create and control virtual people, known as “Sims,” and manage their lives in a simulated environment.

It is an innovative and long-lasting franchise that has allowed players to experience and manage virtual life in detailed and creative ways, leaving a significant mark on the video game industry.

With this in mind, players who were waiting for the video game will have to keep an eye on notifications.
