SimCity is abandoned, but Cities: Skylines II is here for all our city-building needs
11K View2023-10-10
Can you believe it's been almost a decade since the last SimCity game came out? While EA may have left us city-builder fans in the dust, Paradox stepped up with the excellent Cities: Skylines, which launched back in 2015. And now it's finally almost time for Cities: Skylines II!
Besides a huge boost to the graphics, Skylines II boasts a number of exciting additions. The game will feature a more complex weather system where the climate changes across seasons and based on how a map is laid out. Those maps will be up to five times bigger than the first game, and players will have more control over zoning and city utility services. There's even a whole new progression system, including skill trees to help differentiate cities from one another.
If you're excited to start planning your next virtual city, you don't have to wait much longer. Cities: Skylines II launches on PC on October 24, 2023 for $49.99. There will also be an Ultimate Edition available for $89.99, which includes an expansion pass, a San Francisco building set, several unique radio stations, and more, all of which will be released bit by bit over the next year. Xbox Series X/S and PlayStation 5 versions of the game are planned for launch sometime next year.
Holding out to see how big an improvement Skylines II is over the first game? We hear you, and we'll have more thoughts on that soon. One of TapTap's editors will be checking out Cities: Skylines II and sharing a quick review near launch day.

SimCity died so that Cities Skylines can live | First Impressions - Cities Skylines II
Cities Skylines II is an immersive city-building experience that combines creativity with strategic planning. As mayor of your virtual city, you'll shape a thriving metropolis from the ground up.
When I started the game, performance hit me in the face with around 10+ FPS even in the main menu. I quickly adjusted the settings to prioritize performance, and immediately experienced a better-performing game, running at around 40-60 FPS on my aging i7-8700k processor paired with an RTX 3080. However, as I grew my city to over 30,000 citizens, my performance took significant hits, dropping below 30 FPS, accompanied by heavy frame drops and freezes. Sometimes, it even becomes a slideshow. So yeah,
