That comes as quite a surprise. Paradox and Colossal Order have announced a remastered edition of the city-builder hit Cities: Skylines, and it’s coming very soon.
Oops, we didn’t really expect that and certainly not the early date. Paradox Interactive and Colossal Order just announced Cities: Skylines – Remastered, an updated edition of the city simulation game designed specifically for the expanded capabilities of the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. Cities: Skylines – Remastered will be available on February 15, 2023 at a suggested retail price of 39.99 dollars.
Even better, all players who already own Cities: Skylines and its expansions for the PlayStation 4 or for the Xbox One will receive the Remastered Edition for their PlayStation 5 or Xbox Series X|S (as well as the Remastered DLCs up to to expand airports). Revised editions of the other DLCs will be made available in the coming months.
Cities: Skylines – Remastered features a number of improvements optimized for current-gen consoles, including additional buildable tiles to create larger cities and the ability to freely place buildings. This revised edition also improves graphical performance.
Cities: Skylines – Remastered updates include:
-
25 buildable tiles – that’s an additional 16 tiles over Cities: Skylines on Xbox One and PlayStation 4.
-
Quick selection tool
-
UX improvements such as precision placements, distance display, and updated snap options
-
New environment control panel that allows players to customize time of day, rain, fog, and environment colors
-
map editor
-
A general increase in graphics performance
Of course, none of this works without a short announcement trailer:
