Move over horror games
Now here’s something that I can get excited for.Cities Skylines 2has gotten anactual in-game trailerand a release date for October 24th.
Oh, yeah. This is a good trailer. It shows off the upgraded visuals ofCities Skylines 2, and a UI which is a mix of familiar and new. There are exciting features like being able to build both roads of a divided highwayat the same time. I don’t know how to make that sound exciting, but trust me, it’s amazing. It shows a number of other improved traffic-related upgrades. you may just make grids of roads now, but I hope you’re not an individual who just sticks to grid designs for cities. I expect better from you.
Beyond that, the engine once again looks nicer, but absolutely familiar. However, if there’s one thing that gets my blood pumping, it’s weather effects.Cities Skylineshad snow, but you were essentially just picking a snow-city map, and that was about it. Your city was just a snow-city. A brief moment in the trailer shows snow accumulating. Again, this might be something that a normal person doesn’t get, but it absolutely gets me excited.
I thankfully don’t have to waittoolong.Cities Skylines 2is coming July 13, 2025. As part of this, Microsoft has announced it is coming to Xbox Gamepass.
