Earlier this month, Paradox Interactive held its big 2023 online event, where it announced a number of new games and expansion packs that are due in 2023. One of them was the turn-based action game The Lamplighters League, and it also announced the city sim game sequel Cities: Skylines 2. Today, Paradox made a full reveal of a game it teased last week, Life by You.

Just like Paradox went after Electronic Arts' Sim City audience with the Cities: Skylines franchise, Life by You is targeting EA's huge fan base for The Sims. Indeed, the game is being developed by a new internal studio, Paradox Tectonic, that's being headed up by Rod Humble, who previously lead development on The Sims.


Here's what players can expect from this new game:


Life by You will be released as an Early Access game for the PC on September 12 for $39.99, You can pre-order the game now on the Epic Games Store and also wishlist the game on Steam. It will be interesting to see how many players from The Sims will check this new game out, especially with Humble leading its design.
