by Rainier on Nov. 8, 2022 @ 3:01 p.m. PST

Cities: Skylines pulls players out of the public transportation offices and grants them the power of true urban planning and development.

Inhabit a world where you define the rules.

Cities: Skylines invites you to create the city of your dreams in a sprawling landscape dominated by cloud hugging structures and jaw dropping architectural marvels.

Create the cities of their dreams in Cities: Skylines, a massive city simulator from the creators of the Cities in Motion series. Vast backdrops and maps provide players with countless ways to improve and expand their cities, building from humble beginnings up to beautiful, cloud-hugging structures and unique architectural marvels. 

You’re only limited by your imagination, so take control and reach for the sky!

Paradox Interactive and Colossal Order today announced the start of the Cities: Skylines ‘World Tour', a series of updates and releases representing different regions around the globe. 

Releases will begin on November 15 with the Content Creator Packs Heart of Korea and Skyscrapers, two Radio Stations, and a free update. The next leg of the tour will be on December 13 when Financial Districts — a new “mini-expansion” from Colossal Order — will be released together with a new map pack and a third radio station.

Cities: Skylines ‘World Tour,’ will continue in 2023 with Africa in Miniature, a Content Creator Pack created in collaboration with independent Nigerian developers, and, of course, its own radio station.

Heart of Korea releases on November 15 for a suggested retail price of 5.99 USD / 4.79 GBP / 5.99 EUR. The “K-Pop” Radio Station will also release at the same time for a suggested retail price of 3.99 USD / 2.89 GBP / 3.99 EUR.
