A recent discovery on EA’s website has sparked excitement among MySims fans, hinting at the potential return of two classic titles. Listings for a “MySims Action Bundle” and “MySims Beacon Bay” have surfaced, although EA has yet to officially confirm their existence. This leak, initially shared on the MySims subreddit, has fueled speculation about which games the bundle might include and when an official announcement might be expected.
Potential MySims Revival on the Horizon?
The leading theory among fans is that the “MySims Action Bundle” will likely comprise MySims Agents and MySims Heroes. These titles align well with the “Action” theme, though it remains purely conjecture at this point. The identity of “MySims Beacon Bay,” however, presents a more significant mystery. “Beacon Bay” was previously a location featured in the Nintendo DS version of The Sims 3, a unique iteration of the main series tailored for handheld consoles. This could suggest a connection to elements introduced in that game or perhaps a completely new title drawing inspiration from the Beacon Bay setting.
altMySims returned on Nintendo Switch in 2024 with the Cozy Bundle.
The resurgence of MySims began last year with the successful release of the MySims: Cozy Bundle on Nintendo Switch. This collection offered remastered versions of the original MySims and MySims: Kingdom, indicating a potential strategy for EA to revitalize the franchise. Given the positive reception of the Cozy Bundle, and with the 25th anniversary of The Sims franchise approaching, the timing seems ideal for further remasters.
A Grain of Salt Until Official Confirmation
While the prospect of more MySims games on modern platforms is enticing, caution is advised until EA provides official confirmation. The source of the leak, a relatively new Reddit user, raises some concerns about its legitimacy. However, the user did offer video evidence of the listings on EA’s website, lending some credence to the claim.
Could a Nintendo Direct Reveal Be Imminent?
The MySims: Cozy Bundle was initially unveiled during a Nintendo Direct presentation last year. With February typically a month for Nintendo Directs, fans are hoping for a similar reveal this year. Although Nintendo hasn’t confirmed any upcoming Directs besides the Nintendo Switch 2 presentation in April, the possibility remains open. If these MySims remasters are indeed in development, hopefully, an official announcement will be forthcoming.
Conclusion
The potential return of MySims through the rumored “Action Bundle” and “Beacon Bay” has ignited excitement within the fan community. While the leaks remain unconfirmed, the possibility of revisiting these beloved titles on modern platforms, perhaps even the PC alongside the Switch, is a tantalizing prospect. Only time, and an official announcement from EA, will tell if these rumors hold true.
