Cities: Skylines 2 gets first gameplay trailer, October release date
eurogamer.netColossal Order's eagerly awaited city building sequel Cities: Skylines 2 has had a big news day! Not only has the developer shared a first gameplay trailer, it's announced a 24th October release date on PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X/S.
Publisher Paradox Interactive officially unveiled the sequel back in March, calling it a «revolutionary» spin on the acclaimed 2015 original and the «most open-ended city-building sandbox on the planet». Other than talk of a «fully-realised transport and economy systems», however, specifics remained pretty thin.
Courtesy of tonight's Xbox Games Showcase, though, we've now had our first proper look at Cities: Skylines 2 in action, with Colossal Order showing off a sequel that notably ramps up the realism, in terms of visuals at least.
Eagle-eyed viewers will spot a few other intriguing details — snow, for instance, looks to be a key feature in the sequel, rather than being relegated to a DLC map as was the case in the original game — but Colossal Order and Paradox still haven't yet broken down the sequel's new features in any meaningful detail.
As such, expect plenty more news on Cities: Skylines 2 ahead of its 24th October release on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X/S later this year.
