Cities: Skylines 2 announced - What to expect in the new game

Fans of the city-building genre have something to look forward to: Cities: Skylines 2 is being developed by Colossal Order, the creators of the successful first title. Once again, we can expect a city-building simulation with comprehensive transport and economic systems, numerous possibilities for customization and a high level of modding compatibility. The game is set to be released later this year for PC and consoles.

A modern interpretation of the city-building genre

Cities: Skylines 2 aims to offer a modern interpretation of the city-building genre. This means that not only is the technology up-to-date, but so are the game contents. You can look forward to improved transport and economic systems, even more freedom for customization, and a huge selection of mods. The ability to design and place your own buildings in the game world will also be expanded.

Coming to PC and consoles later this year

Not only PC gamers, but console owners can also look forward to Cities: Skylines 2. The game will be available for both PlayStation and Xbox consoles. There is currently no exact release date, but it is expected to be released later this year.
