Cities: Skylines goes by its bucket record forward of this yr’s launch of Cities: Skylines 2 (opens in new tab). Earlier than it shuffles off stage totally, the primary sport is bringing eight years of updates to a detailed with a raft of themed “World Tour” DLC (opens in new tab), plus some new music, new buildings, and one ultimate “mini enlargement”.
It will kick off on March 22, when the Africa In Miniature, Procuring Malls, and Sports activities Venues packs will launch. These have been really created by neighborhood modders, and can (you guessed it) add a bunch of latest buildings and property themed round purchasing centres, sports activities venues, and African tradition and structure.
These content material packs shall be accompanied by a couple of new radio stations, which is able to launch as DLC on the identical day. JADIA (Simply One other Day In Africa) Radio provides 16 tracks from African rapper Wan Shey, 80’s Film Tunes will add, nicely, a bunch of ’80s-movie-inspired tracks, and Pop-Punk Radio will lastly plug the gaping, Inexperienced Day-shaped gap within the sport’s musical lineup (and likewise my coronary heart).
All of that shall be adopted in Could by a Japanese railroad-themed content material pack, a Brooklyn and Queens pack, and an “Industrial Evolution” DLC that provides “a brand new set of growable buildings that span totally different eras of commercial constructing kinds”. These shall be accompanied by some ’90s pop bangers and a pack of piano tunes, too, as a result of why not?
In all probability essentially the most attention-grabbing a part of Cities: Skylines’ ultimate DLC roadmap is the teaser for a vacation-themed “mini enlargement” on the finish of the trailer, however particulars on which are nonetheless frustratingly imprecise. It appears to be like prefer it’ll be Cities: Skylines’ ultimate add-on earlier than it goes away for good, although, so here is hoping it seems to be extra ‘bang’ than ‘whimper’.
