Cities: Skylines 2 launching later this year
Cities: Skylines2, the sequel to Paradox Interactive’s highly successful 2015 city-builder, is in development and coming soon, the publisher announced on Monday during a livestream showcase of coming attractions.
News of the sequel headlined a presentation that included announcements of expansions and DLC for grand strategy mainstays Crusader Kings 3 and Europa Universalis 4, and an all-new, turn-based strategy game called The Lamplighters League.
A news release following the show said Cities: Skylines 2 would allow players to develop municipalities that grow “from a humble village to a bustling metropolis… complete with fully realized transport and economy systems, a wealth of construction and customization options, and advanced modding capabilities.”
Cities: Skylines 2 will launch in 2023 for PlayStation 5, Windows PC, and Xbox Series X, Paradox Interactive said.
