It appears that the much-awaited "Battlefield 6" is scheduled to release on November 19, 2021. The rumor claims that the game would launch on PC, PlayStation 4, PS5, Xbox One and Xbox Series X. Meanwhile, in the early part of 2020, there were rumors that "The Sims 5" would feature a multiplayer mode.

This stemmed from the statement made by EA CEO Andrew Wilson during the company's Q3 2020 Earnings Conference Call. The executive somehow suggested that some elements of "The Sims Online" might be revisited as game developer Maxis works on the future of the hit life simulation game franchise. The information was not warmly received by fans with some open to the idea while others seemingly thinking that the mode could take away the very essence of the game.

It is worth noting that nothing is official about "The Sims 5" as of yet.EA has not yet said anything related to the title. Also, while 4Chan has been a constant source of accurate leaks in the past, it is notorious for fabricated rumors and leaks. "The Sims 5" fans should therefore take this information with a pinch of salt.
