Expect a new update in the blockbuster Sims franchise sometime next year.
The Sims 4 will come to PC and Mac in 2014, according to EA. The company promised more information would be released later Monday, and this story will be updated with more details.\]
The Sims 4 will be a single player game and not require an always-on internet connect, according to an EA spokesperson. Maxis and EA faced a tough launch of SimCity two months ago after an always-online requirement for the game cause crowded servers that couldn't support the demand.
The Sims has become one of the biggest life-simulator brands around, spawning 150 million games sold.
The Sims 3 has had almost a dozen expansions since its 2009 release, including ones mocking memes and featuring pop superstar Katy Perry. There was also a Sims Facebook game, but EA announced it would be shutting down The Sims Social on June 14.
