Cities: Skylines will receive the new day-and-night cycle as an

In After Dark, players of Cities: Skylines will meet all-new
challenges in planning, maintaining, and expanding their cities,
as they discover the unique needs and quirks of the populace
after the sun goes down. In-game citizens will seek out
entertainment and leisure once the work day is over, while the
criminal element will also become more active, requiring new
strategies and solutions for a city’s services, traffic, and
tourism. After Dark includes:
Take a Tour: New tourism specializations will add high-rise
hotels and other attractions for out-of-town visitors, including
beach facilities if placed near the water
Share the Roads: New bus lanes and bicycle lanes allow cities to
take advantage of alternate transportation options; new taxi
system helps ferry tourists around town
Sunset Services: City services can be scheduled during different
times on the day-and-night cycle, allowing for trash pickup at
night and more public transit during the day
A Night Out after Lights Out: New nighttime leisure districts
can be designated, leading to the arrival of nightclubs, bowling
alleys, karaoke bars, and more
Fighting Crime and Doing Time: An increase in criminal activity
at night will lead to new police activity, while new prisons can
be built to contain miscreants
