EA Surprises Gamers with Unveiling of Sims Labs: Town Stories

A new Sims game is in the works, and it's available now in Australia! While not the Sims 5 many are anticipating, The Sims Labs: Town Stories offers a mobile simulation experience currently in its playtest phase. This new title is part of EA's broader Sims Labs initiative, a testing ground for future franchise features and gameplay mechanics.

Though not yet globally available for download on Google Play, interested players can sign up via EA's website for a chance to participate in the Australian exclusive playtest.

Initial Reactions to The Sims Labs: Town Stories

The game's announcement has sparked mixed reactions, with some online criticism focusing on the graphics and concerns about potential microtransactions.

Gameplay blends classic Sims elements like building and character development. Players design neighbourhoods, guide residents through personal stories, manage careers, and uncover secrets within the town of Plumbrook.

Early footage suggests a familiar feel, aligning with the game's role as an experimental project. EA may be using this title to test concepts for future iterations.

Interested players in Australia can find the game on the Google Play Store. Stay tuned for more gaming news, including our upcoming coverage of Shop Titans' Halloween event!
