The year 2024 promises to be crucial for Cities Skylines 2. After a troubled start to 2023, the game still has a lot to show to regain the trust of its players.
Colossal Order CEO Mariina Hallikainen recently revealed plans for Cities Skylines 2 in 2024. She emphasized the importance of modding for the game’s future development. The announcement is the last big message of 2023 from Colossal Order regarding this city building game.
Developments and plans for 2024 for Cities Skylines 2
To meet the expectations of its community, Colossal Order places great emphasis on modding. Users benefit from support for map editing, code modding, and a comprehensive asset editor. Although the Asset Editor is slightly behind schedule, the team has intensive work planned starting in January 2024 to make up for lost time.
An update planned for this week will immediately introduce two new maps to the game. The first offers a fully leveled plains landscape, ideal for creative builders. While the second offers a permanently sunny environment without rain and with always warm temperatures, offering a new gaming dynamic.
Cities Skylines 2 console development continues actively. With the promise to also integrate modding support upon release. However, DLC development is currently on hold, with priority being given to improving and fixing the main game.
Continuous improvement
Colossal Order recognizes that there is still a lot of work to be done in terms of performance and bug fixes. The CEO is aware of this situation and assures that these improvements will be an ongoing task throughout the life of the game, with particular attention given to key issues in the spring.
Despite the recent controversy over comments on the CS2 forums, Colossal Order remains committed to open communication with its player base. A break in this communication is planned after the last message in the forums, but will resume in the new year.
Cities Skylines 2 appears to be heading towards a 2024 full of promise and significant improvements. However, there is still a lot to do to reach the peak of Cities Skylines 1. To provide error-free content that meets original expectations and promises.
