Paradox unveils new city-builder Cities: Skylines 2 - Release date, platforms, and more

sportskeeda.com:

Developer Colossal Order and publisher Paradox Interactive unveiled three new games last night, the biggest of them being Cities: Skylines 2. The title is a sequel to the original city building simulator from 2015.

It is worth noting that Cities is not a new series, with urban development sandbox games being a remnant of the Cities in Motion franchise. The game took the simulation community by storm when it launched eight years ago. With the sequel, Colossal Order is looking to revolutionize the formula that worked for them.

Paradox Interactive dropped a minute-long teaser for the game, hinting at what could be possible thanks to the next generation of console and PC hardware.

Cities: Skylines 2 is slated for a late 2023 release, with details surrounding gameplay features and progression being scarce.

Cities: Skylines is known for its attention to detail and realistic simulation of a city that lives and breathes. Although its visuals have gotten outdated, the modding community has kept the title alive with multiple resource packs that remaster the game.

During the Paradox Announcement Show 2023 last night, the developers did not drop much info on how the upcoming game will build over what the first title offered. It now has a new polygonal glass-themed logo.

According to the official website that went online after the showcase, Cities: Skylines 2 "lets players create and maintain cities that come to life like never before, complete with fully-realized transport and economy systems, a wealth of construction and customization options, and advanced modding capabilities. "

Commenting on the scale of the upcoming city-building sandbox, the developers added:

There are no other details on what to expect from the upcoming title.
