As a part of the Paradox Announcement Show, we finally got a tease for the release of Cities: Skylines II, and the release date is “tentatively” set for some point this year. At this point, we only have a teaser trailer to gawk at, but we’ll have more information rolling out soon.
The original Cities: Skylines was released eight years ago, back in 2015, and it’s been getting constant updates ever since. The game sold millions of copies until this point and numerous expansions over the years have made things (even) better. Obviously, the bar is raised very high for the sequel, and the studio is set to deliver.
“The Cities brand has been an important part of Paradox’s catalog of games for over a decade. Cities: Skylines is a profound success, selling millions of copies, welcoming more than 5.5 million new players just last year, and setting the foundation for Cities: Skylines II,” said Fredrik Wester, CEO of Paradox Interactive. “With unprecedented amounts of customization and player control, Cities: Skylines II will continue to push boundaries for the city-building franchise.”
Cities: Skylines II is coming to PS5, Xbox Series X, and PC at some point in 2023. You can check out the trailer below:
