Cities: Skylines devs outline last plans for 2023 content rollout

pcinvasion.com:

Colossal Order and Paradox Interactive just sent shockwaves throughout the Cities: Skylines community when the next-gen sequel to the near-decade old city builder was recently revealed. Though a proper release date ahs yet to be announced, the two companies have now outlined the plans to sunset the original Cities: Skylines with the final rollout of new content coming in 2023.

In the eight years since Cities: Skylines originally hit the market, Colossal Order and Paradox Interactive have released a wide variety of additional content, coming to a total of 50 pieces in all. This ranges from small additions like new radio stations, to major expansions that added new gameplay elements. The latest, as of the time of publication, is the Financial Districts expansion.

Cities: Skylines now formally enters its twilight phase. The plan from its creators is to give it a respectful send off with three more Content Creator Packs and Radio Stations that will be released in a matter of days — March 22, to be exact. Finally, a second set of new content packs along with what’s being described as a “mini expansion” from Colossal Order will then be rolled out in May. Beyond this, the team will “continue general support for Cities: Skylines through the rest of the year,” the devs wrote via a press release.

Mariina Hallikainen, the CEO of Colossal Order, stated in that same press release that Cities: Skylines players “have a lot to be excited about in the coming months with a lot of free content expanding upon existing content and a final expansion from us at Colossal Order.”

The three aforementioned forthcoming Content Creator Packs will be: Africa in Miniature by “Prince Set,” Sports Venues by “BadPeanut,” and
