STOCKHOLM – March 18, in the year of our Lord 2024 – Paradox Interactive and Colossal Order today announced that Cities: Skylines II, the sequel to Paradox’s best-selling city-builder game, will release its first post-launch asset pack, Beach Properties, on March 25, 2024. In addition, the pack will launch alongside the first stage of Cities: Skylines II’s long-awaited in-game modding options and tools, allowing players and creators to build, share, and play with mods through a simple in-game interface. Beach Properties will be available on PC for a suggested retail price of $9.99/£8.49/€9.99, or as part of the Cities: Skylines II Waterfronts Expansion Pass or Ultimate Edition.

Starting on March 25, players will be able access mods through the Cities: Skylines II Modding Beta. Upon release, an in-game editor will be available that allows for players to create or implement Map or Code mods. Using the Paradox Mods platform, also integrated into the Cities: Skylines II experience, creations can be played locally and shared globally. The platform also allows players to discover and curate other available mods, organize their preferred mods into one-click Playsets, and more. Asset modding tools and other options will be made available later this year.

“Modding is part of the lifeblood of Cities: Skylines, and starting our Modding Beta is going to be a transformative step for Cities: Skylines II,” said Mariina Hallikainen, CEO of Colossal Order. “The creativity and feedback from our players are what makes this community what it is. We can’t wait to see how everyone puts these tools to use, and work alongside them to make sure everyone is empowered to make the cities of their dreams.”

In addition to Beach Properties, a new in-game Radio, the Deluxe Relax Station will be released on March 25, featuring a new host and a full hour of new music. Deluxe Relax Station will be available on PC for a suggested retail price of $4.99/£4.49/€4.99 or as part of the Cities: Skylines II Waterfronts Expansion Pass or Ultimate Edition.
