If you build it, they will come…
As part of theParadox Announcement Show, the publisher has finally teased the coming ofCities: Skylines IIwith a tentative release date of this year. So far, we’ve only got a teaser trailer to whet our appetite and that kind of sucks.
Cities: Skylineswas released eight years agoin 2015and has enjoyed continuous updates. Released in the fallout from the massive disappointment that was 2013’sSimCity, Colossal Order’s city builder has sold millions of copies. Numerous expansions have built upon the game’s bones, but many, like myself, have been awaiting the next big iteration. I don’t exactly know where they can go fromCities: Skylines, but I have a wishlist. I mostly just want my city peeps to have more depth. Let me zoom right into their nostrils.
“TheCitiesbrand has been an important part of Paradox’s catalog of games for over a decade.Cities: Skylinesis a profound success, selling millions of copies, welcoming more than 5.5 million new players just last year, and setting the foundation forCities: Skylines II,” said Fredrik Wester, CEO of Paradox Interactive. “With unprecedented amounts of customization and player control,Cities: Skylines IIwill continue to push boundaries for the city-building franchise.”
Cities: Skylines IIis slated for Xbox Series X |S, PS5, and PC this year.
