“The Sims 5” is one of the most anticipated titles from Electronic Arts that fans have been talking about it for several years. EA and Maxis have not yet made any official announcements about the game in the past, but the upcoming sequel never ran out of leaks and speculations. However, a recent announcement from EA could be a solid indication that the game might arrive sooner than most fans anticipate.

The official Twitter account of Electronic Arts posted a surprise announcement that could be related to “The Sims 5.” EA is now looking for Playtesters to help the gaming studio test new “The Sims” games. “Hey Simmers! EA Playtesting is looking for Sims fans to participate in their Playtest events! Playtesters get to play unreleased games before anyone else, give their feedback, and receive great rewards for doing it,” the tweet reads.

The word ‘unreleased games’ is something that excites “The Sims 5” fans. While the announcement does not directly say that it is about “The Sims 5,” it is highly likely that playtesters could get their hands first on the most anticipated “The Sims” sequel. Playtesting is a fun, but serious job, and EA would like participants to play its games and provide honest feedback based on their experiences.
