Before its cancelation, Life By You had been delayed three times. The last announcement was made on the by Paradox Interactive CEO Mattias Lilja, who expressed thanks for the continued support from the community. "This was not an easy decision, especially since we understand the anticipation and excitement that many players have for the game.

Unlike with past delays, a new Life By You target release window was not given by Paradox at this time.

Life by You trailer
The first Life by You announcement trailer (which you can watch above) that dropped du🦋ring the showcase gave us our first proper look at the open-world setting and how we can control anyone at an♏y time. It also shows off some of the interactions controllable humans can have along with insight into customization, character creation, and much more. A lot of the features do share similarities with The Sims; the more open feel and use of vehicles to get around (hello skateboards!) brings to mind The Sims 3.
I started out writing for the games section of a student-run website as an undergrad, and continued to write about games in my free time dꩲuring retail and temp jobs for a number of years. Eventually, I earned an MA in magazine journalism at Cardiff University, and soon after got my first official role in the industry as a content editor for Stuff magazine. After writing about all things tech and games-related, I then did a brief stint as a freelancer before I landed my role as a staff writer here at GamesRadar+. Now I get to write features, previews, and reviews, and when I'm not doing that, you can usually find me lost in any one of the Dragon Age or Mass Effect games, tucking into another delightful indie, or drinking far too much tea for my own good.
