Paralives: The promising Sims rival reveals in its roadmap what’s still to come before the 1.0 release

The ambitious life simulation is not expected to be delayed any further and will launch in Early Access later this month.

Wait a minute, haven’t we written this news before? That’s right!Almost exactly a year agothere was already a roadmap for the Early Access ofParalives.

Back then, developer Alex Massé and his team were still aiming for a pre-release in December 2025. However, due to bugs and missing content, this was ultimatelypostponed to May 2026. Hey, we just got there!

Now the developers confirm:Paralives launches in Early Access on May 25and there’s also a “new” roadmap.

Open World and Burning Houses

Paralives posted the Early Access roadmap on X, and trained eyes can quickly tell: Not much has changed since last time. In fact, there’s only one thing missing from the roadmap that was still there last year: creating and managing multiple outfits.

Even though the roadmap doesn’t reveal anything new, a lot has happened in Paralive over the past year.& nbsp;According to the developersin 2025, nearly 300 new building items and over 100 collectible items have been added to the game. The character editor—called Paramaker—now features 100 items.

Live mode has also evolved. 191 new animations have been added, and there are more than 30 new features. The team had particularly missed this in December, which is why the life sim was delayed by almost half a year. We’ll soon see if it was worth the wait.
