Family Friendly Gaming News
STOCKHOLM – MARCH 2, in the year of our Lord 2026 –
Paradox Interactive today celebrates the 11th anniversary of its
award-winning city-building management game series Cities:
Skylines. Originally released on PC in 2015 by developer
Colossal Order, Cities: Skylines redefined the modern
city-building simulation genre, with its sequel, Cities:
Skylines II, following in 2023. In honor of the anniversary,
Paradox Interactive has announced a full slate of new content
launching for both games throughout the month of March,
including new content creator packs, radio stations, free
updates, and a new expansion.
Cities: Skylines kicks off the anniversary festivities with a
Free-to-Play weekend on Steam from March 5 through 9, offering
newcomers the perfect opportunity to experience the thrill of
city-building. On March 10, the celebrations continue with the
launch of Race Day, an all-new expansion for the game. Developed
by Tantalus Media in close collaboration with Paradox
Interactive, the new expansion invites players to transform
their streets into thrilling motor racing, running, and cycling
courses. Players can build their dream custom racing venues,
line routes with cheering crowds and roar through the streets
like never before!
March 10 will also see the release of additional paid and free
content for Cities: Skylines, including the Iconic Brutalism and
Renewed History content creator packs, a new radio station
called 8 Gear Radio, and a free patch adding roadside fences and
a new Employment Info View that allows for a closer look at a
city’s workforce.
Race Day, Iconic Brutalism, Renewed History, and 8 Gear Radio
will be available for purchase individually on PC and console
March 10, or together as part of the Race Day Bundle for a
suggested retail price of $23.99/£20.15/€23.99 (save 17%).
Players will also be able to access the new content through the
Cities: Skylines - Expansion Subscription plan on Steam, now
available at a reduced price of $7.99/£6.99/€7.99 per month
(save 20%).
On March 18, Cities: Skylines II joins the celebration with the
launch of two new creator packs, Office Evolution and City
Stations, as well as two new radio stations, Smooth Vibes FM and
Skyrail Radio. In addition, following the first patch that was
released in February from the team at Iceflake Studios, a
special anniversary patch will bring the Iceflake Arena
signature building to the game, and improve toggle zoning, as
well as bug fixes and more.
City Stations adds a range of new, compact depots and rail
yards, a selection of stations with alternating designs, and new
landmarks, whereas Office Evolution captures the architectural
journey from classic heritage façades to sleek, contemporary
office spaces. Paired with two carefully curated radio stations,
Smooth Vibes FM and Skyrail Radio, players’ citizens will dance
through the streets to a soundtrack that never skips a beat.
Office Evolution, City Stations, Smooth Vibes FM, and Skyrail
Radio will be available for purchase individually on March 18,
or together as part of the Office Evolution & City Stations
Bundle for a suggested retail price of $21.99/£18.49/€21.99
(save 15%).
The Cities: Skylines series will also be featured in a number of
promotions throughout March, with discounts across the base
games and a selection of DLC.
