While Cities: Skylines 2 While Paradox Interactive continues to encounter difficulties since its chaotic launch, it surprises with the release of new paid content Cities: Skylines. 18 months after the last major update, three new content packs enrich the original game.
An unexpected return for Cities Skylines 1
Paradox Interactive announced the end of development of Cities: Skylines 1 last May, with Hotels & ReTreats. This mini-expansion marked the conclusion while also hinting that Colossal Order would focus on the long-awaited sequel. However, Cities: Skylines 2 encountered difficulties at launch, resulting in delays in the release of the DLCs. Paradox therefore had to postpone the paid content originally planned for this new game.
Given the frustration of Cities 2 players, Paradox decided to go back to basics. In order to satisfy fans, the publisher is now offering content for the first work. So three new DLC packages for Cities 1 are already available. That’s where we find it Bergdorf package and the Map pack 3 5.99 dollars each. They enrich urban development in the mountains. Finally the radio station Alpine melodies rounds the whole thing off with atmospheric mountain music.
A decision that divides
