Released in 2011, The Sims Medieval was a unique spin-off of the popular life simulation game, The Sims. It came during a time when EA frequently experimented with new ideas alongside its main game releases.

However, it’s currently unavailable for purchase, even though its store page is still online, and the reason for this remains unknown.

PlayStation Plus subscribers will get three new games to download starting next week on June 2nd, and will have until July 6th to add them to their library.

A recent Forbes article detailed the costs for the upcoming season of Ahsoka, revealing it was 30% cheaper to produce than The Acolyte. According to financial filings from the production company, Robot Dog Pictures, the company spent $33.7 million in the year leading up to February 28, 2025, compared to just $40,676 the previous year. Since Ahsoka Season 2 began filming shortly after that date, these figures likely represent the full cost of pre-production. Costs for actual filming and post-production haven’t been made public yet and will be released in later financial reports. For comparison, The Acolyte had already cost $42.4 million a month before production began.

Many excellent science fiction movies haven’t found the broad audience they deserve, despite being well-made and enjoyable.

Critics are already giving the game high marks for its story, writing, and how it plays. They especially love how well it brings the classic James Bond character to life.
