As The Sims 4 approached seven years old, rumors of a Sims 5 release gained a new level of intensity. This is the longest gap between main titles in The Sims series' history and Simmers have been fiercely speculating about a sequel since jobs for an "early-in-development AAA Title at Maxis" were published back in September 2018. When long-term Sims 4 Senior Producer Grant Rodiek was said to be leaving The Sims 4 team to do other "awesome Maxis things" back in April 2019, fuel was added to the fire, which has not been extinguished since.

The game is currently in very early development, but more information will be revealed over time as it begins to take shape.
The current name takes inspiration from the words renewal, renaissance, and rebirth, concepts said to be key to the development of the game.
