Their next Game might even have a live service and an online multiplayer mode which seems pretty interesting since The Sims franchise has never gone on that route except one time. The game might be unveiled in 2021 since it’s in early production but an official announcement about it could come this year at E3. The game could be an MMO since they mentioned “Live Services”.
