Prepare For the Next Chapter of Cities: Skylines

What a long (and traffic-efficient) road it’s been! After eight years Skylines of Cities first broke ground, we’re just one month away from sharing the very last expansion for the city-builder that changed our lives. It sounds dramatic, but I think it’s safe to say all of us at Paradox, and the incredible developers at Colossal Order, can scarcely remember a time when we weren’t working on the next fun addition to Cities, or when we weren’t eagerly watching players all over the world building the most creative, efficient, or vibrant cities to date.

There’s definitely a bittersweet feeling as we announce the last addition to the game; it’s like we’ve been working on the same city for a decade, but we’ve filled all the tiles, got every service running, and ensured every road, train, and bike lane are perfectly optimized. It’s time to let the city run without us.

On the other hand, we’re as excited as can be to load up a clean map and start all over again, since Cities: Skylines IIThis year, the launch is planned! This isn’t the end of the The City of VancouverJourney is the thrilling conclusion of the first chapter. We hope you have fun building it until the sequel is available.

Our last expansion is called “Hotels & Retreats,” so right away, I can tell you the expansion includes — you guessed it — hotels and retreats. There will be a lot of tourism-related buildings in your city. These will range from small, budget options such as hostels and cabins to larger, luxury resorts. You can manage the hotels more easily if you choose the correct resort for the location. Place a conference in your bustling business district. A nature retreat can be placed in a beautiful mountain park. Increase the popularity of your hotels by adding new tourist structures. Make your city a popular vacation spot!

“Hotels & Retreats” will also launch alongside our final few Content Creator Packs, including content themed around “Railroads of Japan”, historic factory styles in “Industrial Evolution”, and a taste of New York with new residential buildings inspired by “Brooklyn & Queens”. We think it’s fitting that we send off Skylines of CitiesArt and style of major civic designs that have endured the test of times, plus a method to ensure virtual visitors continue to visit your city in the future.

When all these new additions are launched on May 23, you will be able to access the original The City of Vancouver will still get support and love while we’re working towards the sequel, but obviously our next major update will be to tell you more about what’s in store with Cities: Skylines II. We can’t wait to see what everyone builds all over again, and we hope you’re just as eager to try your hand at urban design as you’ve been for the last eight years.
