When was the Cities Skylines 2 release date? A sequel to the beloved city-builder was announced back in March 2023 at Paradox Interactive’s announcement show, much to the delight of fans of the original. We have a fixed release date and plenty of details on what you can expect at launch, thanks to a further appearance at the Xbox Games Showcase for Summer Game Fest.

During the Paradox announcement show, Colossal Order CEO Mariina Hallikainen took the time to celebrate the eighth anniversary of Cities Skylines, as well as the 5.5 million new players that the city-building game has picked up in the past year alone. With such a thriving community, you could be forgiven for thinking that a sequel would still be far off. Thankfully, Colossal Order has been hard at work to bring us the latest installment. This is everything we knew about the Cities Skylines 2 release date, gameplay, trailers, and more.
