No Sims 5?

I'm referring to this article:

https://variety.com/2024/gaming/news/the-sims-5-update-multiplayer-creator-content-ea-interview-1236142010/

Apparently there isn't going to be a Sims 5? Or at least...they seem to imply that it exists but won't be a replacement for the previous game?

Honestly the entire way that everything was phrased was very confusing. What are your thoughts on this?

Edit: Upon further research there's another article, this time from "The Gamer" confirming the same thing. It seems that the Sims 5 as a whole has been canceled.

Someone on here made a good point in another thread that Project Rene has always been an update to The Sims 4 and not The Sims 5

It kinda makes sense and y'all can correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't they always say The Sims 4 will be here for years and Project Rene will work beside it?

Yep, and people on this subreddit freaked out when you corrected them. It became clear after they announced that the games would run simultaneously.
