Cities: Skylines II Annnounced, Releasing This Year

Cities: Skylines II was announced at today’s Paradox Announcement Show, and it’s coming later this year.

This follow-up builds upon its 2015 predecessor with new features, such as fully-realized transportation and economy systems. Paradox didn’t reveal too many other specifics beyond stating in a press release that the game features “ a wealth of construction and customization options and advanced modding capabilities.” Cities: Skylines II is coming to PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S (including Game Pass), and PC. You can see the teaser trailer here. 

It was hugely successful, selling over 12,000,000 copies. This helped to fill the sim gap that SimCity had left. Developer Colossal Order has supported it with multiple updates and expansions, including a VR port and a recent current-gen remaster. Our original review of Cities: Skylines for PC can be found here.
