Game show Paradox Interactive has announced Cities: Skylines 2, a sequel to the popular economic strategy game. The title is set to debut this year, also on Xbox Game Pass.
Paradox Interactive hosted a show, where three new titles were announced. One of them is Cities: Skylines 2, the second installment of the popular city builder. Of course, title development is once again the responsibility of Colossal Order. The game is set to debut this year on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X/S. The title is also heading to Game Pass.
One may be confused by the lack of gameplay footage in the released trailer. The release has been announced for this year, which suggests that the title is at an advanced stage of work. So why was it not decided to show a real game? Presumably, the publisher wants to gradually increase the tension.
The game’s product sheet is now available on Steam. At this time, we will not find the price or system requirements there. However, information about the language versions has been released.
The announcement of the show has an additional symbolic meaning: this Friday cities: skylines will be 8 years old. The anniversary has become the perfect occasion to announce the sequel.
Somehow, we already found out about the project in the middle of 2021. At that time, Colossal Order announced that they were working on a new title with Paradox. However, details were not disclosed at the time, arguing that the project was in a very early stage of development. As it turns out, we had to wait a year and a half to confirm that it was a sequel to the hit strategy game, which has attracted over 26 million players so far.
