Paradox has officially announced a new entry in its city-building series, Cities: Skylines, which will feature a distinctive Lego makeover. This new title, described by the publisher as a "playful take" on the genre, is set to launch on Xbox Series X/S, PlayStation 5, PC, and the Nintendo Switch 2.
The announcement confirms previous leaks that suggested a Lego-themed iteration of the popular simulation game. While specific gameplay details beyond the Lego aesthetic have yet to be fully revealed, the "playful take" wording suggests a potential shift in tone or mechanics compared to its predecessors. The inclusion of current-generation consoles and the upcoming Switch 2 indicates a focus on modern hardware capabilities.
Cities: Skylines has been a cornerstone of the city-building genre since its initial release, known for its deep simulation and extensive modding community. The transition to a Lego theme introduces a unique visual style and may appeal to a broader audience, including younger players or those nostalgic for the interlocking plastic bricks. Further information on release dates and specific features is expected to be shared by Paradox in the future.
