UPDATE 27/08/24: Following last week’s reports of a MySims remaster for Switch, EA and Nintendo have made it official. EA’s fondly remembered life sim series comes to Switch in a two-game bundle – officially titled the MySims Cozy Bundle – on 19th November.
The MySims Cozy Bundle is set to feature EA’s original 2007 MySims, as previously reported, but it turns out there’s a little bit more to the whole thing. Purchasers will also get to play their way through 2008’s MySims Kingdom – which transplanted the original’s village-sim-style gameplay to a medieval-style setting – when it shows up this November.
MySims, the unexpectedly decent The Sims spin-off that first hit Nintendo platforms back in 2007, is reportedly heading to Switch “soon”.
MySims, in case you’re unfamiliar (which would be perfectly understandable given that it’s now a frankly upsetting 17 years old), initially released on Nintendo Wii and DS. Developed by Dead Space studio EA Redwood Shores, it presented players with a vaguely Animal Crossing-like take on The Sims which successfully managed to be about as far removed from the actual Sims as you could possibly get without entirely changing genres.
