Body-snatchers, authorities conspiracies and probably extraterrestrial menaces are headed to The Sims 4 in its subsequent add-on, the StrangerVille game pack, due out Tuesday, February 26th. Set within the type of quiet desert city the place apparently solely this type of factor appears to occur, there’s a complete bunch of latest paranormal detective actions to get tied up in, and a narrative to unravel. While clearly not as vital as hoarding pets, it appears like a enjoyable time within the vein of earlier adventure-focused game pack Jungle Adventure. See the debut trailer beneath.
Wobbly, cheerful zombification and a secret lab stuffed with menaces that’ll most likely change into cute as a button appears to be order of the day in StrangerVille. There’s a set of monster-of-the-week TV cliche outfits to gear up in, and a bundle of mystery-busting devices for Sims to gather and gear round with. While extra scientifically-minded characters can do their justifiable share of investigating, army Sims will apparently get entry to some choices of their very own. I ponder how how a lot stuff you’ll be allowed to deliver again to the primary game.
I’m additionally oddly curious what number of alternatives there’ll be for horrible Sim deaths in StrangerVille. The Jungle Adventure pack had lethal jungle plagues and cursed relics that might spontaneously combust curious clickers. While I doubt they’ll have something fairly as dramatic as everlasting zombification (although that might make for some enjoyable instances in case you may deliver that again with you), there’s potential right here for some fascinating cross-contamination. Still, that is only a cheaper ‘game pack’ somewhat than a full enlargement, so an alien infestation of your city appears unlikely.
The StrangerVille game pack is out on February 26th. You can see a bit of extra on the official page here, plus an official comedian (not concluding till March eighth, oddly) here. No value has been introduced, however all earlier Game Packs had been £18/$20.
