Earlier this week, a rumour popped up about The Sims spin-off 'MySims' possibly making a return, after listings for a Switch version of the game appeared on two European retail websites.
It seems there's now mounting evidence of the game's return, with reports EA's official Switch webpage has now been updated with an icon for MySims (thanks, Vooks.net). At the moment, if you click this icon, you'll be taken through to a Sims 4 page.

If this wasn't already enough, Kotaku has also chimed in on this latest rumour, mentioning how "according to a source familiar with the plans", a "remaster" of the game is on the way to the Nintendo Switch "later this year".
"The Switch port of MySims is real and coming soon, according to a source familiar with the plans. EA did not immediately respond to a request for comment."
MySims originally made its debut on the Wii and DS in 2007 and was eventually brought across to other devices. The original listings of this remaster, suggest it could be released around November 2024. Of course, it's all just a rumour for now!
Would you be interested in revisiting this EA title? Let us know in the comments.

Love to see that the chances of a rerelease of MySims are increasing!
A Chibi Sims game. @Anti-Matter is going to be over the Moon with this news.
@OorWullie : If you want to summon somebody, you need to use the tag three times or it won't work.
I played the original and remember it being pretty shallow so if this is just an HD port then I'm not gonna care
@SillyG @OorWullie
I will going to the moon if My Sims for Switch or PS5 is not just straight port from PC version, but it will have new features that didn't available on older machines.
Quite enjoyed it back in the day so a remaster that runs better and doesn't crash randomly would be a no brainer when it comes on sale.
OK, this was the first game I got for Wii when we got one (I was a literal child-which is literally wild.)
I never got a chance to make 5 stars, maybe this will be my chance. We'll see if I can still stomach all the grinding.
Mysims racing on Wii is pretty decent, I'd buy a ten dollar port of it.
I do hope EA aren't going to patronise us with their Switch 2 support and offer below par 'legacy' ports and games where everyone has big heads...
Considering Gamescon passed without this being announced, I guess there a direct coming
Removed - unconstructive
The original MySims Wii got good reviews if I remember correctly and the household enjoyed it. I think we got through a lot of play time with pretty much all the other games on the Wii. Party was meh compared to the other top tier party games on the Wii. The only DS game we purchased was racing which was serviceable.
Why can’t we get the mainline Sims games?
I remember just being disappointed “My Sims” wasn’t “The Sims” back when it came out
@Chlocean isn’t it crazy how time goes by so fast. Not to show my age, I remember getting my Atari 2600, and playing Pitfall. Now I can’t to hopefully play my Switch 2 one day.
@anoyonmus Because after Sims 3 they became trash. Just a quick cash cow for EA.
For me, without further information, it is still a rumor, even though that icon is on the official EA page.
HOWEVER, and at the same time, it gives me hope, as I have always had, that this game will really revive, just have to wait for the update to the webpage and the video trailer, with the real release date.
@Tasuki then at least port Sims 3 over
I hope it’s a new game instead.
All I really know about MySims are the comedic YT videos that PeanuButterGamer made about the series a while back (checks and sees that those were 12 years ago and has a mental breakdown) but if this is true, it's amazing the hoops EA will jump through to avoid porting the mainline Sims games to any Nintendo console since the Wii.
I always like MySims over the base franchise. Liked the solitary character control more.
Nothing against Sims, though. I still play 3 periodically when simply killing time.
MySims Agents was awesome, one of my favourite games on the Wii.
@anoyonmus That's not going to happen either EA likes to pretend that other Sim games don't exist only Sims 4.
This is a dead franchise since release day..why?
So... announcement coming with the Partner/Indie Direct, then?
@OstianOwl They're really good at leaving money on the table... you cannot convince me that a port of Madden wouldn't do well enough to make it worth doing, even if it's based on the PS4/Xbox One versions.
I played this game in 2009 and bought it from pirate markets (God forgive me). I liked the game so much that I even tried not to finish it on purpose.
And when I found out that a port was coming out for Switch, I was shocked, to be honest. Almost 20 years later.
I hope it will be better with optimization and interface. I was told the Wii port was terrible (I played on PC), so I'm worried about how it will play on Switch.
It's a shame it's only a remastered version and not a remake. I doubt they'll add any new content because we all know EA and Nintendo are pretty greedy. And if they do add new content, I'll shake their hands.
I'll wait for the Switch version review for now. I don't want to spend my money just on a pretty wrapper and online. Still, 59.99 euros is not cheap, at least in my country.
