The first Behind the Sims showcase of 2025 has left Simmers buzzing with excitement and speculation. While EA announced exciting updates for The Sims 4 and the MySims Cozy Bundle PC release, many believe the biggest announcements are yet to come, especially with The Sims 25th anniversary 25-hour livestream on the horizon. Intriguing hints within the Behind the Sims video have fueled speculation about a potential revival of a beloved classic: The Sims 2.
The concise, 10-minute Behind the Sims video showcased a timeline of upcoming events centered around The Sims’ February 4th birthday. Two free Sims 4 updates, the MySims re-release, and a sneak peek of upcoming kits were revealed, along with the name of the next season, Motherlode. However, it was a blink-and-you’ll-miss-it moment that truly captured fans’ attention.
The Sims 25 Roadmap
The timeline highlighted February 25th, marked only with a pair of eye emojis. This cryptic tease, combined with recent social media activity and a potentially familiar sound in the video, has led many to believe that this date signifies a Sims 2 related announcement.
Is a Sims 2 Announcement Imminent?
Following the Behind the Sims showcase, fans immediately began dissecting the video for clues. While updates on Project Rene, the recent Sims 3 update, and the Sims movie were absent, several hints point towards a potential Sims 2 revival, possibly a remaster or re-release.
The most compelling evidence is a sound clip that plays when the eye emojis appear on screen. Some fans claim it’s the iconic “Sul Sul” greeting from The Sims 2 intro. This nostalgic sound, reminiscent of loading Sims 2 expansion packs, has intensified speculation about a Sims 2 announcement on February 25th.
Blast from the Past Event Sims 4
Further fueling the theory is the upcoming Blast from the Past live event in The Sims 4. This event features a milk carton with Bella Goth’s missing person photo, a direct reference to The Sims 2 lore. The nostalgic theme of the event and the 25th-anniversary celebrations create the perfect opportunity to revisit earlier games in the franchise, with the milk carton possibly hinting at a Sims 2 revival.
However, not all fans are convinced. Some argue the “Sul Sul” sound is also similar to the greeting in The Sims 3. This game, still favored by many over The Sims 4, recently received its first major update in years. This has led to speculation that the February announcement might be related to The Sims 3 instead. Regardless, the prevailing sentiment is that a remaster of an older Sims game is on the horizon, bringing a wave of nostalgia to modern gamers.
