Cities Skylines was a monster hit when it was released back in 2015 – yes that far back and has seen quite a bit of DLC arrive to keep things fresh. Having performed so well the first time out, it was bound to deserve a sequel. Well, we’ve finally got some concrete information about a Cities Skylines 2 release date.
The publishers announced on Monday during a livestream showcase of coming attractions. Subsequently, in a later announcement made on Colossal Order’s Twitter page, the sequel will be arriving this year.
Cities Skylines 2 release date
Colossal Order have silenced nay sayers once and for all by officially announcing that Cities Skylines 2 is not only in development, but will be arriving in 2024.
This is looking like a next gen title for the ages (sorry PS4 & Xbox One fans), coming to PS5, Xbox Series X/S and PC.
Whilst there’s still no clear indication just exactly when in 2024 we can expect a release, you can add it to your Wishlist on Steam now.
Cities Skylines 2 improvements
Much like the prequel, this game is a city-building simulator. Players are given a plot of land, which they must develop themselves.
The fanbase is pretty vociferous on the kinds of things that could be improved, but when compared to the failure that was the last version of Sim City it was always clear that Skylines had got a lot of things right from the beginning. Patches and quality DLC all helped, alongside a willing community to turn a good game into a great one.
So besides more up-to-date graphics and better movement around the map what would you like to see in any potential franchise, leave a comment below as to how you would improve things.
